U.S. CBP Complies with Mandatory Mask Order; Masks Now Required at all U.S. Ports of Entry


  • February 05, 2021

The Presidential Order making masks mandatory for all transportation systems was issued by CDC earlier this week.

CBP has also clarified that truck drivers do not have to wear a mask while they are the sole occupant of the commercial vehicle but are required to do so when exiting their vehicle, entering a facility at a port of entry, or when at secondary inspection.

CTA has received questions from members regarding the treatment of team drivers under this Order, which is not specifically addressed. CTA is still seeking further clarification on this point and will release this information when made available.
