Natasha Cruz-Sanchez - Petition for Rulemaking

Summary: Natasha E. Cruz-Sánchez, a truck driver and member of the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association (OOIDA), submits a petition to create a formal, federally recognized English Language Proficiency (ELP) endorsement for commercial driver licenses. She argues that a standardized, FAA-modeled testing system would replace subjective roadside evaluations, improve safety, and provide legal clarity for the trucking workforce.
