About CDL Times

CDL Times is a news site for US truck drivers — company drivers, owner-operators and people working toward their CDL. We follow the stories that change a driver's day: new FMCSA rules, CDL requirements, pay and jobs, carrier shutdowns and mergers, inspections, road closures, diesel prices and truck parking.

One question for every story

Before we cover anything, we ask: would a truck driver want to read this? If the answer is no, we skip it, even if it is big news somewhere else. That is why you won't find stock-market chatter, broker industry gossip or press releases here.

How we work

• We publish a few stories a day, not a flood.
• Every story links to its original source — the agency, court, carrier or official data behind it.
• We write short, plain summaries and explain what the news means for drivers.
• We correct mistakes openly. Read our editorial policy.

Driving jobs

Many of our readers are looking for their next job. Our job links go to JOB.CDLSCAN, a job board for CDL drivers where you can search by trailer type and state and apply without creating an account. Job links never affect what we cover or how we cover it.
