US EditionFederal review finds 44% of US trucking schools don't comply with government rules
Nearly 44% of U.S. truck driving schools face sanctions for failing training standards, record keeping, and data integrity, part of a federal safety enforcement effort.
- On Monday, the U.S. Department of Transportation announced it will revoke accreditation of nearly 3,000 schools unless they comply within 30 days, warning another 4,000 schools amid nearly 44% facing closure.
- Prompted by a fatal crash in Florida, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said a driver not authorized to be in the U.S. killed three people, driving the government effort to ensure qualified commercial drivers.
- Investigators found schools under review failed to meet training standards and records, accused of falsified or manipulated training data, while the target list was not released.
- Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has threatened to pull federal funding from California and Pennsylvania, saying it's about `reigning in illegal and reckless practices` allowing poorly trained drivers to operate semi-trucks and school buses.
- The review's enforcement actions tie into proposed restrictions on immigrant commercial driver eligibility, which a court has put on hold.
