(The Center Square) – An eastern North Carolina Baptist church, the Head Start program and a community college are among the entities with involuntary closures of CDL training programs in North Carolina, research from TCS shows.
From the Great Smoky and Blue Ridge mountain ranges to the Atlantic Ocean, plenty of construction and logistics transportation companies joined them.
The 3,015 training providers for commercial driver’s licenses removed from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Training Provider Registry included 78 in the Old North State. Sixty-one were involuntary and 17 voluntary, TCS research shows.
Another 86 were among the nationwide 4,554 put on notice for potential noncompliance, TCS research shows. The U.S. Department of Transportation on Monday said providers receiving a notice of proposed removal have 30 days to respond and provide evidence in order to avoid removal.
Administrator Derek Barrs of the motor carrier safety administration and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy say those removed are cited for “falsifying or manipulating training data; neglecting to meet required curriculum standards, facility conditions or instructor qualifications; and failing to maintain accurate, complete documentation or refusing to provide records during federal audits or investigations.”
The Gaston County community of Lowell has a population of less than 4,000, and the community of Waynesville in Haywood County about 11,000. Each had programs involuntarily halted Nov. 4.
The notices list includes four more churches or faith organizations; Duke University and multiple public school districts; municipalities; hospital authorities; a sheriff’s office as well as the State Highway Patrol, and correctional facilities within the federal and state umbrellas.
The auditing process has been ongoing throughout the second term of Republican President Donald Trump. Increased scrutiny of CDL licensure programs happened after triple-fatal crashes 66 days apart involving 18-wheelers in Florida and California.
