Federal transportation officials are expanding their enforcement effort from individual drivers to the schools that train them.
The Transportation Department says 110 commercial driving schools are being removed from the federal Training Provider Registry after more than 5,000 of their graduates later failed English-proficiency checks during roadside inspections. Officials are also moving against another 160 schools accused of poor training practices, including unlicensed instructors, inadequate facilities, or insufficient behind-the-wheel instruction.
FMCSA also plans a nationwide review of third-party CDL testers as regulators look for additional licensing and training violations.
