DOT shuts down 110 truck driving schools in CDL fraud crackdown

Federal transportation officials are removing more than 110 commercial driver training schools from a federal registry and targeting another 160-plus schools for removal as part of a sweeping new crackdown on fraud in the trucking industry. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the enforcement actions Monday in Detroit alongside Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin, Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Administrator Derek Barrs, federal prosecutors and members of the White House Task Force to Eliminate Fraud. “What we are announcing is an emergency executive shutdown of 110 driving schools,” Duffy said during the news conference. “These are driving schools that account for 5,000 of the violations for English proficiency.” The initiative also includes a nationwide audit of third-party CDL skills testers, a Homeland Security Investigations sweep targeting more than 200 driving schools across 23 states and a new Justice Department task force focused on trucking-related fraud and criminal activity in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
