Duffy announces emergency shutdown of 110 driving schools over English proficiency rule
The crackdown follows investigations that cited more than 5,000 English-proficiency violations and found 40% of 400 schools failed federal rules.
- On Monday, the Trump administration ordered the immediate shutdown of 110 commercial truck-driving schools, accusing them of willfully disregarding federal English-language requirements for drivers.
- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin blamed lax policies under former President Joe Biden for enabling unqualified applicants to obtain commercial licenses without adequate background checks.
- Federal investigators examined 400 schools and found 40% failed requirements. FMCSA Administrator Derek Barrs reported the 110 'greatest offenders' trained more than 5,000 drivers later cited for English-language violations.
- An enforcement operation on Interstate 40 placed 107 trucks out of service during its first day. Barrs said vehicles were driven by people whose licenses listed 'no name given.'
- The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is conducting a nationwide audit of state-authorized third-party testers, with Barrs warning nearly 30,000 drivers have been placed out of service for English-language violations.
