In a significant move, federal authorities announced the closure of 110 driving schools due to violations related to English proficiency, with Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy leading the effort. This emergency shutdown is part of a broader campaign targeting alleged fraudulent practices within the trucking industry. The crackdown has seen nearly 300 truck-driving schools shut down across 23 states as officials from the Department of Transportation and Homeland Security enact measures to address issues with unqualified drivers and undocumented immigrants in the trucking sector. The initiative aims to bolster safety and standards in commercial driving, with federal officials emphasizing that English proficiency is crucial for ensuring the safety of all drivers on the road.
