Multiple states just kicked thousands of illegal immigrants off the roads.
The Trump administration banned non-domiciled CDLs without verified immigration status. States partnered with ICE. Deportation referrals are spiking.
California alone? 61,000 drivers could lose licenses.
The truck driver crackdown hit 8 states so far. Federal review found 44% of trucking schools issued CDLs without proper checks. Expired work permits. No English proficiency tests. All getting pulled now.
The national trucker shortage is 80,000+ drivers. This enforcement just made it worse.
Here's what nobody's saying:
This isn't a crisis. It's a 90-day positioning window.
Shipping companies need approved vendors who can vet drivers in real-time. Immigration status verification. Compliance tracking. Background checks that actually work.
800,000 drivers are potentially affected nationwide. That's not a problem. That's a market.
While your competitors panic about enforcement, smart firms are building the infrastructure that becomes mandatory in six months.
Stop Reading. Start Seeing.
P.S. If you're still arguing about whether this enforcement is "fair," you've already missed the window. The market doesn't care about your politics. It rewards the executives who move first.
