Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy shut down 270 commercial driver’s licensing (CDL) schools Monday for offenses including graduating illegal immigrant truck drivers who can’t speak English or offering subpar training facilities.

“If you’re here illegally and you can’t speak the language and you’re not well-trained, you don’t deserve to be in a big rig, driving American roads, endangering American citizens,” Duffy said at a press conference in Detroit alongside Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and federal prosecutors.

Duffy announced that his department was removing 110 CDL schools from the federal Training Provider Registry, forcing them to “immediately cease all operations.” The schools had been found to have trained 5,000 enrollees later found to be unable to speak English.

Foreign nationals unlawfully issued a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) in states run by open border officials killed more than 30 Americans in 17 fatal crashes last year alone, a disturbing new investigation reveals. Among the victims of the senseless highway carnage is a 5-year-old girl in California, who was critically injured and left with lifelong disabilities after an illegal immigrant crashed an 18-wheeler into her family’s vehicle.

The Golden State leads the pack of offenders, issuing over 128,000 non-domiciled CDLs between 2022 and 2025 and allowing applicants to be tested in Arabic, Chinese, Punjabi, Russian and Spanish with pass rates as low as 22% for Arabic speakers and 26% for Punjabi speakers compared with 63% for English.

New Rules.

[Shipping brokers] are the clearinghouse for moving freight. When there is a container to pick up, in most instances, that request goes to a broker to find a freight line or company to come get the shipping container. Sometimes people get confused that trucking companies own the semi-trailers, and in most cases, they do not. […]

Up to today, trucking companies bore the liability for anything that happened with their vehicle or driver during. Brokers had always claimed immunity from any liability as they were a step removed from ownership. All they did was scheduling – pick up a phone and schedule with Company A or B to get a load from here to there. There were ways to know if said company was in full compliance with DoT regulations, had safety violations, and had paid their insurance bill, but zero impetus for a broker to check.

The trucking company was just another name in the book, willing to deliver for the price quoted.

A unanimous decision from the Supreme Court today has changed that dynamic and sent a seismic shock through the entire trucking industry.

“…an extinction event for 30-50% of all freight brokers.”

“Alberta man”…


38-year-old Dalvir Singh Jhattu crashed into the back of the tow truck, destroying that vehicle, the tractor-trailer and the Mercedes.

Convicted of dangerous driving and “sentenced”…

…to a six-month conditional sentence order, 90 days of house arrest, a 12-month Canada-wide driving ban and conditions, including no possession or consumption of alcohol, drugs or intoxicating substances.

A massive trucking scandal is (again) unfolding in Illinois and you can be sure the Chicago/IL media will go out of its way to ignore it.[…]

The FMCSA (under DOT) in continuing an ongoing audit of IL SOS office related to the issuance of at least 10,000 non-domiciled commercial driver’s licenses over the past few years.

These are truck driver’s licenses awarded to non residents–foreigners–including some here illegally.

In 2024 and 2025, the state saw a huge jump in the number of non-domiciled CDL issued by IL SOS. In fact, an industry watchdog group obtained records via FOIA that showed roughly 40% of ALL CDLs issued by IL SOS in 2025 went to foreigners.

FMCSA determined at least 20% of all non-domiciled CDLs issued by IL SOS were done so illegally. Applicants did not furnish federally required paperwork including unexpired passports and IL SOS issued CDLs for a longer period of time than the applicants’ work authorization permitted.
