Sean Duffy CDL enforcement

    작성: HOMERED: Sean Duffy

    Transportation Sec. Sean Duffy confirmed a truck crash in Tennessee resulted in one American death involving a driver with a non-domiciled Commercial Driver's License issued by New York. Duffy stated subpoenas have been issued to the New York DMV for the driver's records while an investigation is underway with the Tennessee Highway Patrol to identify the carrier that licensed the driver. The speaker intends to remove drivers endangering citizens from American roads if they lack proper licensing and claims states issuing licenses to illegal immigrants will be identified through data sharing concerns. Well-trained drivers must meet DOT rules, speak English, and be lawfully in the country according to the statement. The speaker claims 8,000 truck driving schools were shut down for operating as sham entities with no curriculum or trucks. Tools exist to withhold funding or revoke state ability to issue commercial driver's licenses if states do not cooperate. A reliance on state patrol partnership exists due to limited federal law enforcement resources and there is mention of watching a legal fight regarding these actions. We have also issued subpoenas to the New York DMV to get the driving records of the driver and will fight for justice for the victims and their families. We will investigate to the fullest extent and is working with Tennessee Highway Patrol to determine the carrier that allowed this man to have a license. #SeanDuffy

    Plan is I want to make sure that if I have drivers driving an 80,000 pound big rig on an American road endangering an American citizen, I want them off the American road. They don't they don't deserve to have a license. They should not have a license. And if these states by the way, this is this is the tell if they say we're concerned that DOT would share this with DHS, they must know that the data they have is data that shows that they have issued driver's licenses to illegal immigrants. We feel very comfortable that that is what they've done. We want to make sure they revoke those licenses. So I want well-trained drivers who meet the rules of DOT, which means they can speak English. They're in the country lawfully. And if they're not, and by the way, they didn't go to a sham school. We shut down 8,000 truck driving schools that basically you pay $800 or $1,000. They have no curriculum. They have no trucks. And you just get a certificate that you pass the driving course. Listen, it's been the Wild West in this industry. We are going to crack down and make sure it's safe for the American people. What's hard for us, though, is I don't have, like, an FBI. I don't have a massive force of law enforcement. I have to work with the states and the state patrol. And if they don't partner with us, we have tools. We'll pull money. We can go so far as to pull their ability to issue commercial driver's license, and we will do that if they don't cooperate. We'll watch the legal fight. Mr. Secretary, thank you for coming in. Enjoy the race. Okay, Democratic Socialists score. Thank you.
