    New Federal requirement for CDL drivers

    Not once was I asked in 3+ years of driving if I had CDL, nor was I given a look about my regular DL. I have been to nuclear power plants, airports, military facilities and more restricted places.

    BTW, "native Americans" migrated from Asia(read Siberia), so technically you are from present day Russia, if you consider yourself a native American. It all boils down to when, not if Russia will come to take their territory back from invaders. [emoji16] Canada, USA, Mexico... All Russian...
