The administration’s latest move to flag nearly half of the driving schools as noncompliant doesn’t figure to disrupt the industry, experts say. But the scrutiny on immigrant drivers might.

“We are [reining] in illegal and reckless practices that let poorly trained drivers get behind the wheel of semi-trucks and school buses,” DOT Secretary Sean Duffy said.

The Transportation Department said Dec. 1 that it plans to revoke the certification of nearly 3,000 truck driving schools unless they can comply with training requirements in the next 30 days.

Under the agency’s original emergency order, carriers that didn’t comply could face penalties of up to $75,000 for every flight operated above the mandated limits.

Gov. Greg Abbott’s office noted that a majority of the drivers detained were holding commercial driver licenses issued by California. None of the drivers was holding a Texas CDL.

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's administration said the federal government didn't identify a single CDL issued to someone who wasn't eligible.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted an emergency stay, saying the petitioners met the “stringent requirements for a stay pending court review.”

The Federal Aviation Administration said Nov. 16 it is lifting all restrictions on commercial flights that were imposed at 40 major airports during the country's longest government shutdown.

California will revoke 17,000 commercial driver licenses issued to immigrants after finding expiration dates exceeded legal status limits, following federal scrutiny.

Flight reductions will not rise to 10% by the end of the week because more air traffic controllers are coming to work as the government shutdown ends.
