Trump Admin Saves Jobs, Kicks 1500 Non-English-Speaking Truckers Off the Road

[postman]

We were talking about the whisper test which is still in place.

in 2013 the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) stopped requiring that all CDL applicants pass a hearing test.

 

[postman]

Which is no argument for truck drivers on US highways to not speak English. Truck drivers need to be able to communicate with first responders anywhere. They need to be able to communicate with the general public, anywhere.

Then you should be surprised to know how many truckers only speaking Spanish or French are allowed on our roads by law.

Q1: Which foreign country’s Commercial Licenses are reciprocally recognized for operating a CMV in the United States?

The foreign commercial driver licenses (CDLs) that are accepted in the United States are from the federal government of Mexico and provinces and territories in Canada.

And they seem to handle our road signs with no problems.

That refers to a general hearing test by an audiologist. Whisper test doesn't count.

Temporarily............just like you or I driving in a foreign country, Gene.

The foreign commercial driver licenses (CDLs) that are accepted in the United States are from the federal government of Mexico and provinces and territories in Canada.

And they're not licensed in the United States.

I am NOT surprised which is why I support changing the law.

Of course they don't handle our road signs well. This is what happens when truck drivers can't understand what the sign reading CLEARANCE says.

"We're starting to feel bad for the bridge at this point because it's just getting struck too many times," said Lt. Paul Bloom with the Marion County Sheriff's Office.

ccording to the Marion County Sheriff's Office, the bridge was hit in January 2024, and twice in 2023. FDOT

The truck involved was a semitruck hauling a large excavator on a flatbed trailer, Florida Highway Patrol said.

The driver of the truck — a 71-year-old Ocala man — was not injured.

He received two citations for the incident — one for carless driving and the other for hauling a load that was too tall.

Ocala man. Is that like Maryland man?

The funny thing is the law isn’t changing. Trump is simply enforcing a law Obie decided not to.

That's the point i made in the OP. Back in 2016 the kenyan decreed, "This law makes it tough for illegal aliens to drive a truck so i will not enforce the law. If that kills innocent white people, fine."

 

[StatesRightsForever]

Many first responders are multilingual.

I think you're lying again but who cares.? Everyone in america should speak english.

 

[StatesRightsForever]

Apples to Oranges. I don't see what the problem is with kicking non-English speaking truckers off the road in the US.

The problem is they are illegal aliens and democrats love illegals and say they should be above the law.

BLS says the average wage is $57,000. That's average, meaning half of truck drivers make less. Plus the working conditions are not good. We have a trucker shortage in the US today, although some call it a retention issues since so many people try it and quit due to the physical toll and low wages.

Wages are the issue but grow them and you will see it in your prices. This is the main issue in trucking not the GOPs inquisition to stomp out anyone of Latin decent.

You're confusing average with median. Median means half make less, and half make more. Average is the total pay of truckers divided by the total number of truckers. Many high or low paid truckers can skew the average one way or the other.

So this goes into the ' whose going to pick our veggies' bucket?

DOT is federal for interstate transportation.

All drivers licenses are recognized by individual states.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy Signs Order Announcing New Guidance to Enforce English Proficiency Requirement for Truckers​

It's called the doctrine of reciprocity. Concealed carry permits should be covered by it but currently aren't.

Well, you just declared America off limits to foreign tourists.

Congratulations. We don't need their money, right?

Most foreign "tourists" are illegal aliens, you moron. They come here with intent to living in a blue state where they get everything free and stay forever. Don't let any foreigner come here. No phony tourists and no phony "businessmen."

Some cities, like El Paso, TX, require 911 call-takers to be bilingual.

In New York City, where over 200 languages are spoken each day, the NYPD is proficient in 75 languages—including multiple Chinese dialects, Hebrew, Polish, Turkish, and Urdu.

I don't believe that but if it's true it needs to end right now. I have also heard chicago schools teach in 200 languages!!! Democrats are so stupid and so evil.

Very few blacks do. That's why they can't keep appointments. Most blacks can't even tell time. They don't know the difference between 50 mph and 60 mph.
