Michigan suspends truck driving school amid nationwide CDL crackdown

Michigan regulators have suspended a commercial truck driving school in Marquette after an investigation uncovered multiple alleged violations involving student permits, training documents and required records. The Michigan Department of State said it issued a summary suspension to Northern Michigan University Truck Driving School on Aug. 5 following an initial investigation by the agency’s Driver Education Unit. Among the most significant allegations, regulators said the school provided behind-the-wheel instruction to students without first verifying that they possessed valid commercial learner’s permits. The action comes amid heightened state and federal scrutiny of commercial driver training programs and concerns about whether schools are properly preparing and certifying drivers before they obtain commercial driver’s licenses.
