Trump's Marijuana Rescheduling: Trucking's Safety Concern
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
President Trumps potential rescheduling of marijuana from Schedule One to Three could have severe implications for the trucking sector. If not exempted, the DOT may lose its authority to test commercial drivers for marijuana, a move that could compromise safety following incidents like the 1987 Amtrak crash. Industry stakeholders advocate for a safety carve-out to preserve testing authority, as most carriers would likely continue to prohibit marijuana use due to safety and liability concerns.
