Thousands of immigrant drivers whose commercial driver’s licenses are set 
to expire next month were left bewildered and disappointed when news 
spread that California was planning on reissuing the licenses — only to 
learn federal regulators had not authorized doing so.

Amarjit Singh, a trucker and owner of a trucking company in the Bay Area, 
said he and other drivers were hopeful when word of California’s 
intentions reached them.

“We were happy [the California Department of Motor Vehicles] was going to 
reissue them,” he said. “But now, things aren’t so clear and it feels like 
we’re in the dark.”
