Transportation Secretary Duffy vows crackdown on CDL fraud

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says his department is cracking down on widespread commercial driver's license fraud, citing one state where 10 skill testers allegedly issued over 2,000 licenses to drivers who cannot speak English. Duffy framed the effort as part of a broader push to restore safety on American roadways, suggesting lax oversight has allowed unqualified drivers onto highways. The announcement comes amid growing concern over trucking safety standards and enforcement of federal licensing requirements. Duffy did not immediately name the state involved. The Department of Transportation has faced pressure to tighten commercial licensing rules following a string of high-profile accidents involving truck drivers. Further details on the scope of the fraud investigation and any enforcement actions were not immediately provided.
