English Speaking Drivers Is The Law

Also, I wonder how they will deal with companies that aren't based in the states but do commerce here, which there are companies on both sides of the border that do so.

 

I think its going to come down to what state they get stopped in. Cali/IL./CO and others are going to flat ignore the rule I think. TX/AR/FL and the like I could see a zero tolerance with multiple blitzes.

 

How crazy it CDL driver are required speak and read English but they offer the CDL test in other languages is my understanding. That makes no sense

 

The best and easiest way would be to go after CDL schools and inspectors that put unqualified drivers on the road.
This video is about Canada, but US has the same exact thing going on.
if you are a fresh immigrant it's very easy to find a school that speaks your language. Russian, Spanish, Hindu and everything else. You go there, practice a bit, remember questions and answers by heart for your pre trip test and after few weeks you get your CDL.
Oh and you pass the written test at a DMV with a headphone in your ear with the translator (often seating on foreign country) telling you the correct answer.

 

They pass out CDL's and even HAZMAT like Pokemon cards. They want to drive shipping costs down. When I got my endorsements in Cal, they assumed I spoke little or no english. They were just about giving me the whole thing for the asking. When it dawned on them that I spoke english quite well, their tone changed a lot. Then the guys in the chairs were "El Jefe the answer! El Jefe the answer please!" Nobody cared one bit. It was weird. Very weird.

 

I wonder how they got their CDL? I have a bachelor degree and decided to drive after retirement. I have to retake the CDL exam 2x let alone those who could not read and write english...geezz. Did they get their cdl at Walmart?

 

The problem is in Canada & nothing is will change and only getting worse! The people who enjoy chais have already implemented the system.

I'd say it went from 30% to 85% like this in the last 20 years.Its in the Usa too but at least Federally they implementing the steps to fix it with the English Speaking Law. You ever notice since the internet went mainstream since 2000 Common sense went out the window?

This next video shows a broken system.

 

Nothing new. It's been the law for around 80 years

 

These canadian carriers just need to be outright banned from operating in America......
