The Transportation Department and the FAA have said they relied on data, including reports from pilots of controller responsiveness, to make the decision to reduce flights.

The U.S. shutdown means air traffic controllers are about to miss their second paycheck. This past weekend, the FAA posted notices of large areas of airports or airspace that faced delays.

“We are going to take a hard look at those individuals and there will be serious consequences for them,” Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said of lax driver training schools.

DOT Secretary Sean Duffy has accused California of having the most “egregious” licensing situation of any state, with 25% of its non-domiciled CDLs in violation of federal rules.

Members of Congress are urging DOT to investigate so-called CDL mills and enforce English proficiency rules as part of broader efforts to improve driver training and highway safety.

Sponsored primarily by Rep. Pat Harrigan (R-N.C.), the SAFE Drivers Act is meant to guarantee commercial drivers have a proficient understanding of English.

The autonomous trucks will be manufactured at Volvo Trucks North America’s New River Valley production plant in Dublin, Va. The first batch was built there in the final quarter of 2024.

Secretary Sean Duffy is turning up the heat on California after another truck driver holding a non-domiciled CDL issued by the state was involved in a fatal crash. But California is pushing back.

A truck driver accused of being under the influence and causing a fiery crash that killed three people on a California freeway is in the country illegally, U.S. ������ýland Security officials said.

“California does require ELP and tests for it as a condition of receiving a CDL, and you can read that for yourself,” California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a social media post.
