5,000 drivers under scrutiny: CDL investigation in the U.S.

The operation targeting unlawful CDL (commercial driver's license) transactions is expanding in the U.S. While federal authorities conduct hundreds of investigations in about 40 states, they are also probing connections to fake licenses, identity fraud, unauthorized work, money laundering, and labor exploitation.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), under the U.S. Department of Transportation, urgently removed more than 110 CDL training schools alleged to be linked to irregularities from the system.

In nearly 400 investigations conducted across about 40 states, allegations such as forged or incomplete exam records, unlicensed instructors, inadequate facilities, and the presentation of uncompleted training as completed are being examined. It is noted that more than 5,000 drivers linked to these schools failed to meet the English proficiency requirement.

Fraud and money laundering are also targets.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) forwarded more than 1,000 tips about CDL‑related businesses to relevant units. Investigations are probing issues such as identity and CDL fraud, unauthorized operations, shell companies, financial crimes, money laundering, and labor exploitation.

In a Louisiana investigation, it was reported that six people pleaded guilty, and, according to the prosecutor, at least 124 individuals were assisted in obtaining a CDL through fraudulent means. It was alleged that applicants paid about $5,000, some DMV employees received bribes, and uncompleted exams were marked as passed.

The federal government, to broaden the investigation, also established the Joint Task Force Crossroads of America, a task force comprising the FBI, DEA, HSI, ICE, ATF, and FMCSA.
