On Wednesday,550 CDL truck driving schoolsand training facilities were found in violation of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) standards.
These sham organizations received notices that they are to be removed from the registry of federally authorized truck driver training providers. Thousands more have been removed over the last couple of months.
Sean P. Duffy, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, was sworn into office by Trump in January, 2025. Over the last few months, Duffy has launched a serious crackdown across the country on CDL training mills (sham truck driving schools) and noncompliant training programs.
Over arecent 5-day period, FMCSA sent over300 investigatorsto 50 states.
They conducted1,426 on-site sting investigationsof driver training providers (schools).
Some of these locations even previously trained school bus drivers. Here are the results of that 5-day sting.
Two months ago, the FMCSAremoved nearly 3,000CDL training providers from theirTraining Provider Registry(TPR).
However, most of those schools were idle, so it won’t likely have much impact on keeping unqualified truck drivers off our roads.
TheRegistry websiteshows the location of training schools in your area, the removed schools, how to file complaints, and so on.
This past December,4,000 providerswere placed on notice for noncompliance with the newELDTtraining standards.
