Trucking Schools Shut Down Over Safety Failures | Los Angeles News
Description
Federal authorities have shut down 270 commercial trucking schools nationwide after uncovering rampant English proficiency failures, suspected fraud, and illegal licensing practices—especially in California, New York, and Illinois—with officials citing safety concerns following a deadly crash. Critics warn the crackdown could deepen driver shortages and stoke anti-immigrant sentiment, while audits target third-party testers and revocations of over 28,000 licenses since last summer.
