USPS tried to ban immigrant truck drivers — it went horribly

A few weeks ago, the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) implemented a policy banning the loading of contractors using drivers with non-domiciled CDLs, aligning with evolving federal guidelines on immigration and transportation. Facilities were instructed not to load trailers hauled by such drivers as part of efforts to improve safety across a network of asset carriers and brokers handling local, regional, and cross-country work.

The policy’s impact was immediate, resulting in canceled loads and widespread disruptions. USPS operations, heavily reliant on these drivers, saw trips missed and sorts delayed, exposing vulnerabilities in the postal linehaul network.

Within days, USPS reversed the ban, deeming the service and cost impacts too severe for an abrupt change. This highlighted the critical role non-domiciled drivers play in mail delivery reliability.
