Officials probe Tenn. driving school

Tennessee and federal officials are a investigating truck driving training school where the state has terminated its third-party agreement with the school to let it administer CDL skills tests.

The Tennessee Department of Safety ended its agreement with Volunteer Training Center in Murfreesboro on June 21, only six months into the parties’ five-year contract.

TDOS said that Volunteer did not test in accordance with state law and it would not accept any certificate issued on or after June 21. The termination contract applies to all VTC locations doing third-party testing. The center was one of Tennessee’s 19 third-party testing organizations with agreements to administer CDL skills test for the state.

The Tennessee Highway Patrol Criminal Investigation Division and the FBI are investigating.
