Trump vs Newsome: Transportation Sec issues new rules about foreign truck drivers

[Manonthestreet]

No, the rules did not change at all.

Wrong......I was given a Federal phone number to call if I saw anything out of the ordinary. Two before you could drive into a buildings which had an inside dock your rig was inspected front to back....that's just some of what's not done anymore.

 

[BULLDOG]

When the Indian driver in Florida killed 3 Americans he could not speak English or understand traffic signs

Then you take the license of all those who don't understand traffic signs. They should have never received them to start with, regardless of their nationality.

 

[struth]

The trade agreement with Mexico and Canada that Trump1 renegotiated his first term, included a measure about the Trucks delivering goods to Canada from Mexico and the licences of the drivers for safety....

That was a signed agreement by all three presidents, and passed by the US Senate....?

Can that be legally changed now without a new trade agreement signed by all three?

Nobody is changing it

Not sure about your state, but in mine you have to pass an exam about traffic signs. If you fail it you don’t get your license.

This of course is about commercial drivers, which requires an even higher degree of knowledge and safety

No

Take the CDL of every non US citizen who does not have a federal green card

 

[struth]

Trump has already repudiated his own deal.

This has nothing to do with that deal…another sign of you showing you’re clueless

One traffic accident means nothing.

Produce real evidence that foreign drivers are statistically more dangerous.

 

[TimFitz]

You never “see” anything that makes sense

Who is flooding America with illiterate foreign drivers and why?

Why ask me? You made the claim. You can back it up.

 

[TimFitz]

The choice is clear

Trump wants safer highways and fewer traffic deaths

Newsome wants more Americans to die

Fact free, o-enly racist BS, and partisan projection.

 

[struth]

Why? That’s not even the issue here.

 

[Mac-7]

There are more than one

But they all mean something

Yes.Pay attention.

Your fuhrer repudiated his own US-Mexico trade agreement.

No no he didn’t

Requiring people that get CLE has nothing to do with people with foreign DL driving in the United States

 

[struth]

Dude, what? Lay off the bottle

 

[DigitalDrifter]

If you cannot speak English, you have no business operating a truck in the U.S.

 

[struth]

No

Take the CDL of every non US citizen who does not have a federal green card

And investigate any agency that gave a CDL to someone that was an alien, that couldn’t speak English

I thought all states had that requirement. If not, they should.

194,000 illegal alien truck drivers will be forced out of the trucking industry over the next 18 months.

The Trump Administration Transportation Secretary issued an interim rule requiring all non-domicile CDL holders to renew their CDL licenses in-person yearly while requiring a valid visa or a valid passport with entry documentation.

Commentary: This move will not only help improve safety, but will also improve rates for American and legally green card and visa holders in Trucking. Improved rates also improves safety as increased revenue means increased equipment upgrades.

FMCSA to force nearly 200K non-domiciled CDL holders out of trucking

DOT said reports of lax immigration policy flooding trucking with non-citizens were "all true," as it moves to take non-domiciled CDL holders out of the industry with an interim final rule changing non-domiciled issuance practices.
