Werner Enterprises was granted more flexibility to seat drivers faster based on an exemption approved by federal regulators. In a notice scheduled to be published on Thursday, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration ruled that Werner (NASDAQ: WERN) will not be required to have its commercial learner’s permit (CLP) holders accompanied by commercial driver’s license (CDL) holders in the passenger seat. Werner requested the exemption to allow its driver trainees who passed the CDL skills test — but have not yet obtained the actual CDL document from their home state — to drive a truck without having a CDL holder in the passenger seat.
