Trucking Schools Under Fire | Charleston News

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is launching a sweeping crackdown on trucking schools, shutting down 270 nationwide over rampant fraud—schools allegedly lacking qualified instructors, training vehicles, and even basic English proficiency requirements for drivers. Citing safety and border policy failures, Duffy ties the move to a fatal crash involving an undocumented driver, pushing “Dalilah’s Law” named after a girl injured in the incident. But critics warn the law could cost 200,000 truckers their jobs—including legal visa holders—and threaten economic stability, while also risking road safety if enforcement is too broad. The debate rages: how to protect American roads without crushing livelihoods. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
