The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has granted another extension of the waiver of "under-the-hood" elements usually covered in testing for commercial driver's license applicants. Their goal: to reduce hurdles for getting new school bus drivers into seats ahead of the 2022-2023 academic year in the hopes of alleviating the ongoing driver shortage. The summer is a peak time for school bus driver recruitment.

But how much impact will this waiver really have? School Bus Fleet has posted polls on Twitter and LinkedIn, but feel free to comment here too!
