Docket Number FMCSA-2025-0886 Greetings, I am a supervisor for MV transportation in Southern CA. I have been in the industry for 11 year’s. I value and understand safety, DOT rules and traffic laws. We transport children, seniors, community members, ADA passengers, people that rely on our services to get to their dialysis, doctor, therapy appointments, work, school and so forth. In order to continue providing adequate service to our members of our communities, and reduce being understaff because of the impact this has caused, I ask that you please consider granting this exemption for Jenifer Sanchez Vilchis and all other DACA recipients or people with valid work authorizations. Jenifer Sanchez has a valid work permit. A valid work permit proves federal permission to work. Restricting a work permit conflicts with the purpose of the work permit itself. Public safety is improved by licensing, not restriction: Allowing DACA recipients to obtain or renew class B licenses ensures they are able to continue getting trained to the same level as all other drivers. It allows employers, and the dmv to be able to track them through licensing systems. Jenifer Sanchez should not be excluded from being able to renew her CDL, because majority of these fatal accidents came from class A operators- who do not go through the same procedures or trainings as school, or public transportation drivers/class B operators. Employers such as: School buses, Public transportation, Delivery, Utility services, Waste management, the list goes on highly rely on DACA recipients or people with valid work authorizations to help fill the shortages, primarily in states like CA. As George Bush once said, “We seek a nation where every person has the chance to be all that he or she can be.” Right now, today, FMCSA under 49 U.S.C. 31136(e) and 31315(b) has the power to grant this exemption and approve Jenifer Sanchez request. This exemption will continue to provide opportunities, restore financial impacts, help with work shortages and give those who take safety seriously, a chance to be all that she or he can be. Thank you.
