Authorities in Michigan have shut down a Detroit truck driving school for encouraging students to apply for CDLs with fake documents.

As of Wednesday, Aug. 15, Great Truckers Driving School can no longer provide driving instruction in Michigan.

Michigan Secretary of State Ruth Johnson said in a press release she revoked the school’s certificate and fined it $34,000.

The school was operated by Sukhjit Sandhu and Rajinder Sandhu. Johnson’s press release said the school provided students with fake lease agreements that listed addresses of vacant buildings or unknowing residents’ homes. Those fake leases were used by students to show they complied with state law and lived in Michigan when they applied for a CDL.

“Providing false information when obtaining a driver’s license or state ID card is a significant violation and we will hold those responsible to account,” Johnson said, according to the release. “We take our responsibility to protect the integrity of ID documents very seriously.”

Rajinder Sandhu was fined an additional $13,000 and his driving instructor certificate was also revoked. More than 85 CDLs and CDL temporary instruction permits obtained with false information through Great Truckers Driving School have been cancelled.

Johnson credited the Detroit branch office staff that first discovered the CDL fraud and reported it.

“Because of them, we were able to investigate this matter, take appropriate action and refer the matter to law enforcement authorities,” Johnson said, according to the news release.

While I'm still trying to find out how I was listed as an employee of Mid Michigan home care. I wonder if I'm driving a truck as well?

This may be of interest.

Makes sense. Any alerts on van type trucks or the 18 wheel ones?

Indian. My first cardiologist was an Indian man named Rajinder.

Here’s their website. They show an 18 wheeler and a schoolbus.

Gee, the terrorists are after the big rigs for transport again. Atlanta had an alert about eight to twelve months ago, if remembering correctly. Never heard if anything was found moving in or around Atlanta consider suspicious. Heck, we wouldn't be told anyways if they found anything.

Did you happen to ask your doctor his/her religion?

Trucking, just one more job Americans "wont do".

or perhaps more accurately, "just one more job Americans aren't being hired to do."

Hindu

Aren't Hindus relatively quiet and law-abiding?

According to their website they’re Michigan Works approved.

I’m not sure but I believe Michigan works is run by the state.

[no-to-illegals]

run by the state

Uh oh. Details at 11.

Michigan Works sounds like a public private partnership thing. I know they used to work through the unemployment office.

It’s keyworded now, and I may use my afternoon ping on this one!

Well, I don’t see the problem.

“Illegal” doesn’t mean illegal. And if it did, it wouldn’t mean “against the law”. And if it DID mean “against the law”, there isn’t any law, so that one goes out the window, too. But if it WAS illegal, and MEANT illegal, and there WAS law, there wouldn’t be anyone to prosecute the illegality, so the entire exercise is utterly meaningless.

And by the way, “documentation” doesn’t mean documentation. It means racist. Just so you know.
