English Speaking Truckers Only May 05, 2025

Show notes

English Speaking Truckers Only. Trucking has a big problem. That problem is, many truckers can't speak English language. For the past few years, truck drivers have been complaining about the non-english-speaking truckers on the road. Why is it a problem you ask? Where do I start? First off, just reading the road signs can result in a problem if you can not read them. Just recently, President Donald J. Trump signed an executive order, stating that all truck drivers in the Inited States must be able to read and write the English language. In fact, if a driver is pulled over or into a weigh station and is not able, to demonstrate reading and writing the English language, he/she can be put out of service. So watch out if you are in America and can't read. You may just lose your CDL.
