1,500 Truckers Pulled for Failing English Test

Whoa, did you hear about this? Over 1,500 truck drivers just got yanked off the roads because they couldn’t pass an English language test. The Transportation Secretary says it’s all about safety—if you can’t read road signs, you’re not driving a big rig. Some are saying this levels the playing field for American truckers, while others think it’s a bit harsh. What do you think—smart move or too strict? #Transportation #Truckers #RoadSafety

That's 1500 dangerous people off the highways. if they can't speak English, they probably can't read the road signs either. And at 80,000 pounds, they are a danger. 🐊🐊🇺🇸

Good, thank you! If they can’t read the traffic signs or communicate in English—they don’t need to be on American roads. The roads are dangerous enough!

What state license office issued a C.D.L.? They should be fined and closed for putting the public's safety in jeopardy.

Good! They live in this country, speak ENGLISH!!! Can you imagine moving to a different country and didn't acclimate to their language? Ha. It would never happen. Move to Mexico and continue speaking English. See how far you get.

What idiot allowed non English CDL truckers on the road. These rigs are dangerous and can be killing machines if road signs can’t be understood by the drivers

If you can’t read and write in English you shouldn’t driving a tractor trailer period. This can cause serious accidents by not understanding the language and rules of the road. This just proves that DMV will give anyone a drivers license. That in itself should be a crime

if you want to have a CDL license, learn to speak read and write English and compliance with our laws.... that requirement applies to anyone including uneducated or illiterate Americans who want to drive commercial vehicles with a CDL license....
