Recent developments highlight this trend. For instance, USA Truck was acquired in January 2026 by a group of its current and former executives through a private entity, marking a return to U.S.-based ownership and a renewed focus on operational growth.
  
The company, which operates approximately 1,800 trucks and 6,000 trailers, stated that the transition would allow for “greater speed, flexibility, and focus” in delivering logistics services. 
Such acquisitions and restructuring efforts demonstrate the continued attractiveness of the trucking sector to investors and entrepreneurs alike.

U.S. Trucking Industry Context

The trucking industry in the United States is responsible for the transportation of goods across interstate networks, supporting sectors such as retail, manufacturing, and agriculture.
On March 16, 2026, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) implemented a regulation restricting asylum seekers, refugees, and recipients under the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) from obtaining or renewing non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s Licences (CDLs).
Under the directive, eligibility is limited to specific visa categories, including:
  • H-2A (agricultural workers)
  • H-2B (temporary non-agricultural workers)
  • E-2 (investor visa holders)

The policy is estimated to affect approximately 200,000 immigrant drivers, representing about 5% of CDL holders in the United States.

Implications for Kenyan Drivers

For Kenyans in the United States, the impact depends on immigration status.
  • Kenyan asylum seekers and refugees working as truck drivers may face challenges renewing CDLs upon expiry.
  • Kenyan DACA recipients are not eligible to obtain or renew CDLs under the rule.
  • Kenyans holding H-2A, H-2B, or E-2 visas remain eligible under current requirements.

For Kenyans planning to work in the U.S. trucking sector, eligibility for CDLs is now tied to the approved visa categories and compliance with licensing requirements.
