UVBA UPDATES
Federal Update

SBA Defers EIDL - On March 15, 2022, the SBA announced additional deferment of principal and interest payments for existing COVID Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) program borrowers for a total of 30 months deferment from inception on all approved COVID EIDL loans. Read More.

New Regs for CDL - The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rolled out Entry Level Driver Training Regulations on February 7, 2022. The new regulations require that any new, entry-level commercial drivers complete an FMCSA-approved driver training program. Drivers may no longer learn to drive commercial vehicles through colleagues, relatives, or unapproved training programs. Fortunately, this requirement is not retroactive for those who already have a CDL.
