4. CDL Mills
What is a CDL mill?
In line with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) continued enforcement within the trucking industry, 7,500 CDL training schools across the U.S. were shut down over the past year for failing to meet federal requirements. Commonly referred to as “CDL mills,” these training programs focus on quick issuance of a CDL (sometimes within a few days) without proper classroom or behind-the-wheel instruction, putting untrained drivers into the workforce.
The continued evaluation and removal of these schools from the federal registry will help to improve the quality of new entrants in the flatbed trucking industry.
