Ahead of what's sure to be a chaotic holiday shopping season and an historic shortage of truck drivers, dozens of lawmakers from across the aisle and across the country are pushing for a fix.
 
They want the age requirement for interstate CDL drivers lowered from 21 to 18.
 
Right now, anyone under 21 with a CDL can only drive within their home state.
 
"Well at first I was leery of it but I got to thinking Ohio drivers run flat country and the guy in the next state Pennsylvania goes through the mountains," said Larry Braham, director of training at the Northeast Ohio Truck Driver Training School in North Jackson. "If you're just crossing state lines I think that's good experience for both of them."
 
Just a week ago, Braham and a partner opened the training school. He says now is the right time to train new drivers.
 
"I think it would help (the shortage) if people were willing to get out and get moving and they will," said Braham. "Sooner or later they have to."
 
Braham says he understands safety concerns about having younger, less experienced drivers.
 
He believes the training they get would have to be tailored to address those concerns.
 
"You go to school, get your license and then you do three months on the job training," Braham said.
 
Which may not help in time for holiday shopping, but could do a lot to ease the long term supply chain problems.
 
"Everything we handle comes with a truck," Braham said. "You go in the stores right now, the shelves are not full and we have to start filling them up."
