Thousands of truck driving schools across the United States face potential closure following a federal review that uncovered widespread non-compliance with government standards. The Transportation Department announced that nearly 44 percent of the nation's 16,000 institutions could be affected.
On Monday, the department revealed plans to revoke the accreditation of approximately 3,000 schools unless they meet training requirements within 30 days. A further 4,000 schools have been warned they may face similar action.
