Truckers Use English Only When Testing
Truckers Use English Only When Testing

Quote:
A federal proposal aimed at stiffening language requirements for truck drivers shouldn't affect Arkansas because the state already requires all parts of the commercial drivers test to be given only in English.

"We are already in compliance with that and a step above," said Shannon Newton, vice president of the Arkansas Trucking Association.

Anybody who drives a truck in America should be fluent in speaking English language as well read and wright...

Far as that goes all people granted a green card must be as well.. Visitors/vacationers should be the only ones who would be exempt...
