The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) removed more than 110 truck driver training schools from its Training Provider Registry on an emergency basis. [^1]

Schools removed from the registry are prohibited from offering Entry-Level Driver Training (ELDT) or validating initial training for applicants seeking a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). [^2]

The FMCSA identified approximately 5,000 violations involving truck drivers who had been certified by the affected schools but failed to meet federal English proficiency requirements during road inspections. [^3]

US Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy stated that the department has spent the last year and a half reinforcing circulation rules and eliminating dangerous foreign drivers from the highway transport sector. [^4]

As a result of the suspension, the affected schools can no longer provide or certify the initial federal training required to obtain a Commercial Driver's License (CDL). [^5]

The FMCSA linked these schools to thousands of certified truck drivers who received roadside citations for failing federal functional English requirements. [^6]
