Enforcing Commonsense Rules of the Road for America’s Truck Drivers

President Donald Trump has issued an order to enforce English language proficiency requirements for America's truck drivers, emphasizing safety and communication on roadways. This action mandates the Department of Transportation to revise policies to ensure that commercial drivers can sufficiently read, speak, and understand English, impacting their ability to operate vehicles safely and interact with officials. While aiming to improve road safety and support truckers, this order may stir legal and political debate over language requirements and their enforcement, potentially affecting immigrant drivers and the trucking industry at large.
