Untrained Truck Drivers Are Arrested in Florida
Suppose you wanted to drive an over the road truck but didn’t want to spend the time in school to get your CDL. What if there was a way to skip your commercial vehicle competency exam and still be able to climb behind the wheel of a tractor trailer. Well, that is exactly what approximately 200 untrained truck drivers did.
Steven Baez, a sergeant with the Army National Guard got his hands on a stack of vouchers (Form DA-348E) that excuses drivers from taking the state of Florida commercial vehicle competency test. It seems that Mr Baez was able to sell approximately 200 of these vouchers for up to $4,300 each. Now Steven Baez is sitting behind bars and in a series of pre-dawn raids last week throughout the Miami and Dade County area, federal, state and local authorities started rounding up the illegal drivers by picking up 7 truck operators. Many more arrests are coming….
