Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has closed 7,500 commercial driver training schools in a first year of enforcing federal laws governing trucking to increase road safety.
Recently, he listed significant actions directed toward the trucking industry among other key transportation achievements under “a year of decisive wins under President Donald J. Trump’s America First Agenda.”[…]
FMCSA disclosed Dec. 1 it found widespread noncompliance with entry-level driver training requirements after reviewing 16,000 CDL training providers listed nationwide.
“The trucking industry has operated like the Wild, Wild West for far too long which is why I purged NEARLY HALF of trucking schools from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s list of approved schools because they failed to meet our high standards of safety,” Duffy noted in a Dec. 2 social media post. “We also placed over 7,000 drivers who failed to meet our English proficiency standards out of service because if you can’t speak English, you need to get off American roads! We’re not afraid to take EVERY MEASURE to protect the American people.”

but hey, orange man bad.
had a blunt conversation with a buddy suffering TDS. there was no end to stuff l cd cite that was FIXED under his adminstration and mentioned the notorious Georgia election fraud
and to fix or even ‘fix’ the problem in CanaDUH: stop voting Liberal. and therein is the sad truth, they will NOT stop voting Liberal so the problem will NOT ever be fixed.
does it ever occur to them when they bury a loved one from a truck fatality, THEY are in part rersponsible for perpetuating the cause?
How is it the Teamsters let a Dem admin do this? Don’t tell me no Teamsters have lost jobs to these illegals? Does UPS or Amazon use illegals?
When was the last time a union’s bosses represented the people of their union rather than their own personal interests? Although, that is perhaps changing for some — largely due to rebellion within the ranks of the unions (some of them).
The current Teamster president last drove a truck 3 decades ago, and his last job was as a “business agent”. What does he know about what happens in trucking, when he hasn’t been a trucker for a long long time.
The only way governments can fix problems is through subtraction.
This is an excellent example.
And one the typical Elbows Up arsehole wouldn’t understand.
L – If we retain the high standards of the trust society, we used to be. We survive and prosper.
Psssst … when Obama federalized student loans … he launched an entire new avenue for defrauding the American taxpayer. Cleaning up Obama’s Cloward-Piven takedown of America’s financial strength must be a daily task by the Trump Admin.
I wish to extend my thanks to the “ex MTV Real Life creep, and weekend Fox News boy toy”
7,500 driving schools? Wow, that goes to show how many immigrants from India and Pakistan are in country. Who’dathunk there were that many schools, let alone the numbers they closed. Probably the same funding model as the Minnesota learing centers.
