The US Department of Transportation (DOT) and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are collaborating to combat fraudulent Commercial Driver's License (CDL) schools. The DOT has identified approximately 75 entry-level driver training schools suspected of improper practices, including fake driver certifications and inadequate training. DHS's Homeland Security Investigations will assist the DOT in reviewing these schools.
This joint effort aims to enhance the integrity of the CDL system and investigate commercial driver's license schools nationwide. The partnership is part of a broader initiative to ensure road safety and enforce CDL regulations.
This development may impact oversize operators who rely on qualified and properly trained drivers to transport their loads.
