This Is The Way: 270 Trucking Schools Shut Down

The New York Post reports that "Trump admin orders 270 trucking schools to shutter in crackdown on licensing of illiterate, illegal immigrant drivers." 110 schools were shut down because they "had been found to have trained 5,000 enrollees later found to be unable to speak English" in violation of long standing federal law. "Another 160 schools were suspended for failing to meet training facility standards — sometimes claiming a single truck or small parking lot comprised their training center." Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, in announcing the closures, "said 239 people died in crashes caused by non-English speaking truck drivers since the start of Trump’s term in January 2025, with California issuing most of the licenses used by operators involved in the smash-ups."
