U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said truck drivers who cannot speak English will have their commercial rigs taken out of service and will be denied commercial driver’s licenses. In remarks made on 8 July, Duffy stated, “We’re going to put your rig out of service if you can’t speak the language.” The pledge signals a stricter enforcement stance on English-language proficiency for operators of 18-wheelers and other heavy trucks. Duffy did not specify when the policy would take effect or how compliance would be monitored, but his comments indicate the Department of Transportation intends to tighten oversight of driver qualifications.
