Trump administration revives English language requirement for truck drivers

[FoxNews] Transportation Secretary Duffy cites safety concerns, reversing Obama-era policy that relaxed enforcement

The Trump administration on Tuesday took steps to begin enforcing a law that requires truck drivers to speak English.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy was in Austin, Texas, where he signed an order to direct the Department of Transportation to enforce the law.

Duffy framed the move as a safety issue for America's roadways.

"For too long, misguided policies have prioritized political correctness over safety of the American people," Duffy said.

Under federal law, a driver must "read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records."

The move came after President Donald Trump signed an executive order on April 28 directing the Department of Transportation to include English literacy tests for our truckers.

#2 I deal with easily 10-15 OTR drivers every day. This is something far, far overdue.

And you'll be surprised how many American citizens can't do it.
