The Long Distance Drivers and Conductors Association (LoDDCA) is protesting the alleged removal of the Class “CD” licence endorsement by the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA), fearing it will lead to driver arrests and loss of income.

• The Class CD licence endorsement is crucial for drivers operating heavy commercial vehicles, including trucks and trailers, particularly those transporting hazardous cargo.
• LoDDCA is seeking urgent engagement with the NTSA and the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA) to clarify the implications of this regulatory change.
• The association warns of potential lawful collective action, including a potential strike by hazardous cargo drivers, which could disrupt regional transportation if the issue is not resolved.
