In an interview with FreightWaves, Steve Gold, founder and CEO of 160 Driving Academy, said the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s (FMCSA) Training Provider Registry (TPR) — implemented in February 2022 — has created a massive loophole by allowing CDL schools to self-certify with no proof of state licensure or on-site inspections.

CDL schools are exploiting federal loopholes and flooding the trucking industry with untrained drivers, industry exec says.
