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

Which adds to the cost

And still breaks the law. Since the foreign truckers still have to drive on American roads to get to the transfer point.

And not only does it seriously add to the cost, but also to the logistics. If an American picks up a Canadian trailer, they have to arrange to return it to Canada, to the company or independent trucker they picked it up from.

Have you ever tried to return a rental car, or U-haul to a different location then you rented it from?

You doubled down on dumb. Go away

GFY. You think that was "worthwhile"?

You're as stupid as a stump

Then America should be talking to students in various venues to look at careers like this if they’re not cut out for college. We don’t need anymore Humanities majors flooding the market with useless degrees.

Who decides what's a useless degree.

Back in the 1980's when a lot of defense contractors were downsizing, aeronautical and electrical engineers were flooding the market with useless degrees.

Are you suggesting we start a planned economy?

If you want more truckers, you'll have to make the necessary training affordable or free.

Exactly. Give out trucker grants and scholarships.

Private Truck Driving Schools: These can range from $3,000 to $10,000, depending on the program's length and comprehensiveness.

College Price - AACC

The average 2023-24 tuition-and-fees listed price for public two-year colleges increased this year by $100 to $3,990.

Does that include all the truckers bringing in fruits and vegetables from Mexico, or paper and lumber from Canada?

That's going to seriously impact our balance of trade.

They're under a reciprocal licensing agreement.
You dumb ****, you even brought it up.

 

[postman]

You dumb ****, you even brought it up.

Which means you have a bunch of truckers legally on our roads that don't speak English.

And that's O.K. by a law. That conflicts with the regulations.

You know what that means?

 

[Delldude]

Who decides what's a useless degree?

The guy interviewing you.

'Your're over qualified'.

There’s a shortage of truckers as it is nimrod. This only adds to that shortage

Why aren't they taking courses to 'Speaky de Engrish'?

Simple fix.... waiting for free money?

Exactly. Give out trucker grants and scholarships.

Already available for years. Many trucking companies will cover the cost of schooling.

Just like you going to Europe?

No it doesn't.....reg's cover obtaining a CDL license in the US.

It costs less to go to community college, than to trucking school.

And there are far more education grants and scholarships given out.

Do the math for us.

So the English requirement has nothing to do with safety. It's all about politics. Because if it was about safety, it would apply to all truckers allowed to travel on American roads.

Even paying for trucker training may not help since there's talk of replacing trucks with drivers with robot trucks.

Lame point. They are only permitted on US highways for a limited amount of time.

Language requirement is for obtaining and operating under a CDL in the US.

HAL says:

AI Overview

The United States recognizes Commercial Driver's Licenses (CDLs) issued by the federal government of Mexico and by the provinces and territories of Canada for the purpose of cross-border trucking operations.
Here's a breakdown of the agreement and key considerations:

Reciprocity: The United States has reciprocal agreements with Canada and Mexico regarding the recognition of their CDLs, meaning that a valid commercial license from these countries is accepted for operating a Commercial Motor Vehicle (CMV) in the US, and vice versa.

Purpose: This agreement facilitates the movement of goods in international commerce across the North American borders, according to the Canada-Texas Chamber of Commerce.

Restrictions:
Cabotage: Mexican and Canadian drivers are generally not allowed to haul loads between two points within the United States (known as cabotage). Their operations must involve the movement of goods into or out of the US.

Specific Requirements: Beyond a valid CDL, drivers from these countries also need to meet other requirements such as:
Visa (for Mexican drivers).

Proof of citizenship and identity (passport, Enhanced Driver's License, or NEXUS card for Canadian drivers).
Background checks (especially for hazardous materials transport), which can be satisfied through programs like TWIC or FAST.

Compliance with US Hours of Service (HOS) regulations while operating in the US.

Proper documentation, including cargo manifests and Bills of Lading.

Safety and Regulations: Despite the reciprocity, Mexican and Canadian carriers and drivers operating in the US are subject to US safety regulations and inspections, including vehicle safety checks at the border.

In essence, the agreement aims to strike a balance between facilitating international trade and ensuring safety and regulatory compliance in the trucking industry.

So the English requirement has nothing to do with safety.

If you want to obtain a CDL here, it does.

When a two year old starts driving on a CDL license, you would have a point.

Lame point. They are only permitted on US highways for a limited amount of time.

Imports from Mexico represent about 15% of the total imports into the United States. In fact, in 2018 alone, there were over 6 million truck entries into the US from Mexico, averaging out to over 17,000 truck entries per day.

I was referring to English comprehension level.

If you're going to require truckers speak English, you have to also specify at what grade level of understanding they have to have.

How well you speak English is a qualifiable measure. So there has to be a minimum standard. Which is what I was asking for.
