I would trust President Trump behind the wheel of one of these 80,000 lb semi trucks more than I do these non-English speaking illegal aliens who get their CDLs from sanctuary states like California, Washington and Illinois.

There is literally a video of Trump unable to open the door of propaganda dump truck and another where he is amazed by car technology but, you’d put Trump on the road? You sure are special, aren’t ya?

I said what I said. No apologies. I’d feel safer with President Trump on the road driving a semi truck than these illegal aliens who don’t speak English, don’t know driving laws and regulations and have no regard for human life.

LMAO! If Trump were in charge of delivery, he’d dump the wares in the woods and blame Obama. You don’t need to speak English to read a number or an arrow or stay in the lines. You’re so silly!

So, you feel safer with illegal aliens who are incapable of reading, writing or communicating in English, and no comprehension of U.S. driving laws and regulations, driving 80,000lb commercial trucks on our nation’s roads? I’m sure the 3 U.S. citizens killed on the Florida Turnpike would disagree.

“federal and state partners on immigration enforcement and checking for English proficiency for commercial drivers while continuing agricultural inspections.” There sure to find a whole lot of drivers as fruits & vegetables are coming out of the fields. Plus

The truck driver shortage continued in 2025, with the American Trucking Associations (ATA) estimating a shortage of around 80,000 drivers and projections for it to grow to over 115,000 by 2025. Key factors driving the shortage include an aging workforce, difficult working conditions, high costs associated with the profession, and strict licensing requirements. This shortage has led to higher shipping costs, supply chain disruptions, increased wages for drivers, and a greater focus by companies on driver retention, training, and diversification to attract new talent.

There is no “shortage” of truck drivers in the United States. Only a shortage of U.S. drivers willing to drive for cheap wages. Democrats just want more slave labor.

This has been a requirement for CDL drivers since 1937. Communication is incredibly important and you can't afford to have communication issues on the road for a whole host of reasons.

This is one of those times when a policy sounds logical (licensed drivers should be able to read traffic signs, for instance), but because THIS regime is the one implementing it, I feel as if this is some sort of trap

No, Dipshit. Commercial truck drivers have been able to read, write and communicate proficiently in the English language and have a clear understanding of U.S. driving laws and regulations to legally operate an 80,000lb commercial vehicle on U.S. roadways. Sounds simple to me.

I hear you on that Brother. I’m trying to keep my vision from getting worse than 20/40. A lot of these mega-carriers are training drivers in house in these newer, automatic, governed, Tupperware-torpedos. The drivers are really nothing more than glorified seat covers.
