SEST SENAT has opened registrations for More Drivers 2026 and will cover the cost of changing the CNH category, as well as exams and classes, for those who want to become professional drivers.
SEST SENAT has opened registrations for the 2026 edition of More Drivers, a program that covers the cost of changing the CNH category and professional training for those who want to enter freight and passenger transport. The initiative directly targets one of the sector’s biggest challenges: the lack of professional drivers in the country.
In practice, participants can attempt to change their license from B to C, from B or C to D, and from C or D to E, without bearing the costs of the process. The program covers medical exams, psychological evaluation, toxicological exam, practical classes, rental of the vehicle used at the Driver Training Center, and the course offered by SEST SENAT itself.
According to brasildotrecho.com.br, the selection follows criteria defined in the notice and registration does not guarantee a spot. This means that candidates need to undergo analysis and compete for one of the calls made throughout the program’s duration.

Who can register for More Drivers 2026
To participate, you must be 19 years or older, be able to read and write, have a CPF and a valid CNH for the category change. The notice also requires that the person does not have their driving rights suspended and has not committed more than one very serious infraction in the last 12 months.
Another important point is that there should be no pending issues related to withdrawal from similar programs conducted previously. The goal, according to the disclosed material, is to direct the opportunity to those who are truly able to follow all the required steps.
Women registered in CadÚnico have priority in selection
The order of call was designed to prioritize specific groups. First, the program calls women registered in CadÚnico. Then, other participants in Federal Government social programs are included. Next, women not part of CadÚnico, and lastly, the general public.
Within each group, priority goes to those without formal employment ties and candidates with a higher number of dependents. It’s a logic that tries to reach those who most need the chance to enter or reposition themselves in the job market.
More than 130 units may open new classes throughout the year
The notice does not specify a fixed number of spots. The calls will depend on the availability of SEST SENAT operational units spread across the country, which opens up space for new opportunities during the program’s duration.
In practice, the national reach is quite significant. Since the service occurs in more than 130 units, the offer can appear in different regions throughout the year, always according to the capacity of each location.
Program addresses the lack of professionals in freight and passenger transport
Mais Motoristas emerges at a time when the lack of drivers remains a challenge in freight and passenger transport. The proposal from SEST SENAT is to facilitate access to professional licensing and accelerate the entry of new workers into the sector.
For those intending to work as a truck driver, bus driver, or in other transport-related roles, the chance to obtain a professional driver’s license at no cost can make a real difference. In addition to reducing the financial barrier, the program also provides the required training to compete for positions with better preparation.
Those who wish to participate should pay attention to the notice and the calls from the units. The opportunity is free, but depends on meeting the rules and the availability of calls in each region. If you know someone who might be interested, it’s worth sharing this information now.
