    Do you think it’s a good thing that people are allowed to take their CDL exam in a foreign language? Do you think it’s possible that there are CDL examiners that pencil whip the paperwork on their end so that their buddies have access to cheaper labor? Do you think it’s no big deal when hundreds of trucking companies share the same address? Do you feel the industry is better now than it was even ten years ago?

    No, I said fraudulent companies. Plenty of Americans work for these fraudulent companies too.

    Again. MY personal position is english SHOULD be the national language. I have always said that.

    But...

    I spent 12 years in the army, 6 years of that in the 3rd Inf Regt. 3 times I swore an oath to defend the CONSTITUTION of the United States.

    And until the constitution is changed, I will defend EVERYONES rights ... equally.
    Change the law. You need 10 states to set up english is the official language and thats enough for a constitutional amendment... Until then, it is not constitutional to restrict ANYONEs right to free speech. In whatever language they choose to express it.

    Oh Christ. Here we go again. This reg has NOT BEEN ENFORCED since 2016. Thats Obama, Trump, Biden, and Trump again.

    Why? Because it was most likely challenged in court and found to be unconstitutional but I cant confirm that. But it is a FACT that it hasnt been enforced since 2016. And as I have said countless times, it WILL be challenged again...

    Declaration of Independence: A Transcription

    Paragraph 2....
    We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--

    Driving makes me happy...

    Oh, Im sorry, that was the declaration of independence of the United States, the reason for the constitution to begin with...

    And note, it says all men are created equal. Even foreigners...

    A.I. saying this:
    • India's Literacy Rate:
      While India's overall literacy rate has increased significantly in recent decades, reaching around 74% in 2011, significant disparities exist across states and within different communities.
    And that was 14 years ago. So factoring the population in 2011 in India that was 1.261 Billion. So that 327 Million (26% who are illiterate from a enormous demographic) and I'm sure the ones who immigrated to North America now obesed as a majority driving trucks fall under the needed law of English Proficiency.

    AI Overview

    Somalia's adult literacy rate is around 41%. There's a significant gender gap, with male literacy at 54% and female literacy at 22-28%. The youth literacy rate is approximately 70%, according to USAID.
    Here's a more detailed breakdown:
    • Adult Literacy: Approximately 41%, with males at 54% and females at 22-28%.
    • Youth Literacy: Around 70%.
    • Historical Context: Somalia's education system has faced challenges due to civil war, drought, and other factors.
    • Recent Improvements: While still low, Somalia's literacy rate has increased in recent years.
    Now Somalia's who immigrated to North Ameirca driving trucks again, fall under this.

    Again, A.I. says: Between 20-25% of the European population is functionally illiterate. In other words: at least one citizen in five does not have the reading and writing skills they need for functioning in society,

    Factor in how muvh come to North America who enter into Trucking.?

    Point being all of these foreigners who's 1st language will definitely have problems with English if they are legitimately illiterate in their own language. AND they fudge their way to pass their CDL license in North America? Videos don't lie.

    The majority of these drivers are unqualified and most lack English Proficiency. It has nothing to do with race, origin of nationality etc. Lets keep it real. When you use common sense and go back to the 90's there were less fatalities on North American Highways and roads.

    Does the U.S. Constitution say innocent until proven guilty?

    The 5th and 6th amendments both deals with the concept of innocent until proven guilty. However, no amendment specifically uses this exact language. "Innocent until proven guilty" is, therefore, an implied right.

    And again, if YOU are ok with sitting for HOURS at scales across the country because of this (stupid) reg, then more power to YOU...

    Any "law" or reg that requires that you prove you are innocent is unconstitutional and our fathers fought wars to keep this from happening...

    And ONE MORE TIME!! Where is the data that says people that cant read/write english is a danger to the public?
    DATA
    DATA
    DATA...

    Not just some blowhard politician saying it so, but hard data. Absolute PROOF.

    It doesnt exist. Know what does exist? Drunk drivers are a danger. Kills THOUSANDS every year. Where is the outrage for that?

    The DOT pretty much already knows who they’re gonna be going after. It’s pretty obvious if you’re out here for any length of time, you know what trucks are definitely gonna be the culprit aren’t gonna be speaking, fluent English and having to use translation apps just to communicate with anyone… It’s gonna be glorious to see all of these trucks being impounded here soon… Get them off of our highways… You look just the last couple months alone you got the Austin accident you got the one in Thomasville, Alabama you got the one in Cocoa Beach Florida, and then the one in East Ridge, Tennessee those are just a few to name That are recent of these people that obviously cannot comprehend the English language nor what signs mean in this country… People are being killed over this unnecessarily
