Duffy Orders Over 550 CDL Schools to Close Over Safety Failures
The Transportation Department still has 97 schools under investigation.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy ordered over 550 commercial driving schools to close after discovering numerous violations of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)’s standards of safety.
We’ve seen too many stories of an illegal alien with a CDL involved in a crash and killing at least one person.
One happened yesterday in Indiana.

On February 5, ICE arrested Bekzhan Beishekeev, a 30-year-old national of Kyrgyzstan, who killed four people after crashing into a van on February 3 in Indiana.
Beishekeev came to America illegally during the Biden administration after using that stupid CBP One app and was released into the country.
Pennsylvania issued Beishekeev a CDL in July.
FOUR PEOPLE KILLED BY ILLEGAL ALIEN SEMI-TRUCK DRIVER.

“For too long, the trucking industry has operated like the Wild, Wild West, where anything goes and nobody asks any questions,” said Duffy. “The buck stops with me. Under President Trump, my team is cracking down on every link in the trucking chain that has allowed this lawlessness to impact the safety of America’s roads.”
The investigation found that the schools had unqualified instructors, used fake addresses, failed to properly test drivers on basic requirements, and did not train drivers to transport hazardous materials.
The schools did not even use the proper vehicles to train the drivers.
The schools also admitted they did not meet their state’s specific requirements.
“We mobilized hundreds of investigators to visit these schools in person to ensure strict compliance with federal safety standards,” said FMCSA Administrator Derek D. Barrs. “If a school isn’t using the right vehicles or if their instructors aren’t qualified, they have no business training the next generation of truckers or school bus drivers.”
The Transportation Department still has 97 schools under investigation.
“American families should have confidence that our school bus and truck drivers are following every letter of the law and that starts with receiving proper training before getting behind the wheel,” declared Duffy.
The department jumped all over CDLs in August after a deadly crash in Florida killed three people. The illegal alien obtained a CDL in California in 2018.
Duffy asked the FMCSA to audit schools in every state, which led him to order an emergency action plan.
The department gave 44% of the 16,000 truck driving programs an F.
California, Illinois, Minnesota, New York, and Pennsylvania already risk losing millions in federal funding and decertification due to noncompliance.
Illinois have been given 30 days to fix it's CDL program that issues licenses to illegal aliens—or lose $200M in yearly federal funding.
Reportedly, 1 out of 5 non-domicile CDL's are issued from Illinois.
Democrat ideology against our safety. 🤡🌎pic.twitter.com/B8zdgyAtq5

well done

He should restrict the licensees to operating only within downtown Minneapolis.
They need to find a way to hold government officials from governors down criminally accountable for policies that have allowed illegal aliens to gain commercial drivers licences, especially where illegal aliens end up killing and maiming people.
CDL “schools.” The learing centers of CDL instruction.
Good steps. The real issue is a State issuing CDL to ineligible aliens. The solution is to end the ability to issue CDL for any State that doesn’t immediately work in a good faith effort with DoT to identify then revoke these licences. This should be accompanied by DoT advising other States, Insurance Companies and Freight Companies that CDL issued by one of those States are no longer valid outside that particular State.
All those free CDL licenses from Dems allowed every driver to vote also. Fraud on multiple levels.
No they didn’t. A driving license does not authorize anyone to vote.
BS.

Don’t pee down my back, Milhouse.
It is always delightful when the Democrat gets its just desserts.
Interesting that it’s the exact same ‘mistake’ in three blue cesspools.
It does in Massachusetts.
Why are states handing out CDL’s? Trucking engages in interstate commerce and falls under Federal Hours of Service Rules as well as inspections, enforcement etc.
