86 truck drivers were ARRESTED and trucks were left abandoned in just 3 days during a massive federal trucking crackdown. 😳
Operation Highway Shield hit Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Ohio, with federal inspectors targeting unqualified drivers, unsafe trucks and alleged CDL fraud. Authorities say the operation resulted in roughly 766 out-of-service orders and 86 truck driver arrests.
And this isn’t slowing down. Federal officials say more than 26,000 drivers have been placed out of service for English-language violations, thousands of allegedly fraudulent CDL schools have been shut down, and more than 30,000 improperly issued CDLs have been revoked.
Do you think these nationwide trucking crackdowns are making the roads safer—or is enforcement going too far?
