          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;Safer Highways and Increased Performance for Interstate Trucking Act or the SHIP IT Act &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill expands programs and special permits for trucks and truck drivers. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, a state may issue a special permit for certain overweight vehicles based on a Presidential major disaster declaration or a Department of Transportation (DOT) declaration (1) of an emergency (including non-natural or financial), or (2) that the United States supply chain is having issues. Currently, a state may issue a special permit only based on a Presidential major disaster declaration. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;DOT must also, subject to the availability of funds, award competitive grants to construct or improve commercial vehicle parking facilities. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Under the bill, the Department of Labor must provide Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act grants for entry level commercial motor vehicle driver training. The bill also establishes a limited tax credit, adjusted annually based on inflation, for eligible commercial driver's license holders. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Further, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration must revise certain regulations related to commercial driver's license testing and permits, including to allow a third-party examiner to administer commercial driver's license tests. &lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;DOT must also establish a pilot program allowing states to issue permits for qualifying vehicles with six axles or more operating at greater than 80,000 pounds gross vehicle weight on a state's Interstate System. (Generally, the federal commercial vehicle weight limit is 80,000 pounds, with some exceptions.)&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill also exempts the battery weight from the gross vehicle weight for certain commercial motor vehicles powered primarily by electric battery power.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Finally, existing driving time exemptions are expanded for truck drivers transporting agricultural commodities and farm supplies within a 150-mile radius.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
