Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy announced significant changes aimed at improving safety in the trucking industry, highlighting a crackdown on non-compliant driving schools amid concerns over illegal drivers.
• Duffy declared that the “Wild Wild West” era of the trucking industry is ending under the Trump administration.
• Nearly 44% of U. S. truck driving schools may close due to a federal review revealing non-compliance with government standards.
• The Department of Transportation has given about 3,000 schools 30 days to meet training requirements or face loss of certification.
• An additional 4,500 schools have been warned about potential non-compliance issues.
• Duffy emphasized the need to reduce illegal and reckless practices that allow untrained drivers to operate large vehicles, stating that complying with regulations is essential for business continuity.
The Trump administration’s initiative aims to enhance road safety by ensuring that trucking schools meet federal standards and reduce the risks posed by poorly trained drivers. Failure to comply will lead to business closures.
