ATA Supports Latest Crackdown on CDL Mills

Washington-Today, American Trucking Associations Chief Advocacy & Public Affairs Officer Henry Hanscom released a statement in support of a joint operation by the U.S. Departments of Transportation and Homeland Security to permanently close 270 fraudulent CDL schools:

"ATA applauds the Trump Administration, the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the Department of Homeland Security for continuing their aggressive crackdown on fraudulent CDL training providers and other bad actors that have undermined safety and integrity within the industry. Strong enforcement measures like these send a clear message that commercial trucking is a profession that demands skill, responsibility, and adherence to the highest standards.

"Removing noncompliant carriers, unqualified drivers, and fraudulent training operations strengthens public confidence in our industry while ensuring that the next generation of professional drivers enters the workforce properly trained and fully qualified. The result is a safer highway system, a stronger supply chain, and a more level playing field for the thousands of motor carriers that follow the rules every day.

"We look forward to continuing to work with federal partners to strengthen safety, uphold industry standards, and support a trucking workforce that reflects the professionalism this essential industry demands."
