An executive order issued by President Donald Trump in April 2025 mandates that commercial truck drivers in the United States must read and speak English proficiently to be considered fit for service. This policy took effect on June 26, 2025, prompting current and future truckers to improve their English language skills. The order enforces an existing law requiring truck drivers to have adequate English proficiency, with the aim of enhancing safety in the trucking industry. The measure is expected to impact thousands of truckers, including many Spanish-speaking workers. Following this, the U.S. Department of Justice released guidance to federal agencies to implement Trump's broader executive order designating English as the official language of the United States. The DOJ is coordinating efforts to reduce multilingual services across federal agencies, focusing resources on English-language education and urging agencies to operate exclusively in English whenever possible. Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized that English should be the default language for federal services, discouraging multilingual outreach.
