Alabama Tightens Trucking Safety Rules | Huntsville News

Trump’s crackdown on fraudulent trucking schools has shut down over 270 schools nationwide—111 for English failures, 160 for training violations—with Alabama Governor Kay Ivey leading the charge. Her state has partnered with federal immigration authorities to remove unqualified drivers, especially those without legal status or English proficiency, from the road. Since last fall, Alabama troopers have detained 500+ for immigration violations and issued 1,000+ English citations. A new law signed by Ivey in March mandates foreign CDL holders prove legal work authorization and English fluency—or face criminal charges—going into effect October 1. Early results show a 24% drop in commercial vehicle fatalities this year. Ivey’s message: illegal operators won’t be tolerated.
