Trump Administration Revokes 110 Trucking Schools' Accreditation as Immigrant Driver Crackdown Expands

WASHINGTON, DC - JULY 30: A Secret Service Agent stands near a tractor trailer as U.S. President Donald Trump announces the Freedom Haulers initiative on West Executive Avenue between the West Wing of the White House and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on July 30, 2026 in Washington, DC.

The Trump administration has revoked the accreditation of 110 commercial trucking schools that certified more than 5,000 drivers who later failed to demonstrate English proficiency, expanding a crackdown that has increasingly focused on immigrant drivers and the institutions that train them.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the removals Monday, saying the schools had certified drivers who subsequently failed English-language checks during roadside inspections. The Department of Transportation is also moving to remove more than 160 additional schools over inadequate training practices and will conduct a nationwide audit of third-party commercial driver's license testers.
