More than 550 training schools for commercial driver’s licenses have been closed, the U.S. Department of Transportation says.
Following 1,400 sting operations by 300 investigators across all 50 states, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found many lacked qualified instructors, had fake addresses, and did not properly train prospective drivers for things such as transporting hazardous materials.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said some teachers were licensed or permitted for school buses, not the trucks requiring CDLs they taught students to drive. Some driving instruction was in vehicles not matching the prospective CDL licensure.

I now strategically place as much distance between my automobile and EVERY box truck, semi, and delivery van I encounter on the roads.
IMHO … this strategy should be printed in the CA Drivers Handbook.
