If you want to be a trucker and are deaf, hard-of-hearing or slowly losing your hearing capabilities, then you may still be able to get your Commercial Drivers  license and become a truck driver in the U.S.

While the Department of Transportation (DOT) has previously required drivers to pass a hearing test, the National Association of the Deaf (NAD) may now be able to help you get your license even if you can’t pass the DOT’s hearing requirements. For more information, see the NAD’s information page on Commercial Driver’s Licenses.
