The Trump administration is intensifying efforts to enforce a federal rule requiring commercial truck drivers to read and speak English, citing safety concerns. Officials emphasize that truckers who cannot understand English are more than twice as likely to be involved in accidents compared to those who speed or have drug violations. The Department of Transportation, led by Secretary Duffy, has been working for months on this policy, which includes immediate removal from service and potential disqualification from obtaining a commercial driver's license (CDL) for those who fail English proficiency tests. Judicial Watch has launched an investigation into the trucking industry, focusing on how unqualified foreign drivers have been allowed to obtain CDLs, raising questions about enforcement failures and road safety. Supporters argue that understanding English is critical for reading road signs and ensuring safe driving. The initiative has garnered backing from American truck drivers who are reportedly frustrated with current policies and support the administration's crackdown to improve safety and protect domestic drivers. Critics of previous administrations, including Obama and Biden, blame their policies for allowing foreign drivers who cannot read English to operate trucks, contributing to road dangers.
