CVSA votes to put truck drivers with limited English out of service

I respect you trying to stir the pot but the number tribal members in any given tribe who can speak their native language is so low that your trolling isn’t a good example. Roughly 400 out of 6700 members of the Northern Cheyenne (not just “Cheyenne” as you posted, which 212 crosses before crossing the Crow Reservation) speak their native language. The Crow tribe is a little better at roughly 20%. Also in your sample, people who can’t speak Cheyenne wouldn’t just lose the shortcut like you say. Travel on I-90 would be lost as it crosses the Crow Reservation starting at the WY border up to Hardin. Not only that, but members of the Northern Cheyenne would also have to travel around the Crow Rez as they don’t share a language. Quite the conundrum.

 

He did not think through the trolling very good. Ha Ha I have traveled that road a few times and never met any native when stopped that spoke anything but English. Opps!

 

I just had a road service call up here in Michigan and the company that came out was a i-96 towing and recovery and it happened to be the owner of the company that showed up this morning… We were having a discussion and he ended up mentioning to me that the Michigan State police asked him how many trucks can he store? He responded by telling them I’m up to 75 tractor trailer combinations they said thank you… Michigan is getting ready to start very soon enforcing the English proficiency and putting people out of service

 

I can speak a few languages, know some pretty good words in Arabic, Farsi and Pashto. Can converse in Russian, don’t ask me read it though.

Can speak French, Spanish and Japanese pretty well, again don’t ask me to read Japanese that ain’t happening. One of my friends from Japan invited me over to drive a truck. Told him I can’t read Japanese, just speak it and he told me I can’t drive there.

In order to drive in America, you should be able to speak and read English. Period.

 

EVERYONE should be able to read and comprehend English before issued a drivers license…all road signs are in English across North America. Speaking the language really not important,,thats their problem if they try to order a burrito and get a rug.
There’s good reason these clowns constantly end up going the opposite direction on divided highways..

 

I agreed with you 100%. 'EVERYONE SHOULD SPEAK, READ ENGLISH" English is my second language. I was 24 yoa when I move to USA. I did not like English at all . Ive never intended to learn English while I was living in my country of origin. Then I arrived here. so I thought, if I don't want to be abused and exploited I must learn english.
But this is not the point . The fact of the matter is this goverment is blaming the immigrants who don't speak the language, when in reality the EMPLOYERS, the fmcsa, dot, dmv they are the real problem. BUT it is easier for crooked politicians bought by corporations, to blame the weakest link in this cycle of exploitation. And we are the ignorants who blindly support and applaud them

 

You do realize that Mexico is a part of North America, and that Canada has a French speaking region officially recognized by the Canadian government, right?

 

Yes i spent 10 years hauling explosives exclusively out of Quebec….ya we taught French in grade school in Canada…WTF want to haul into Mexico…only desperate immigrants will haul into Mexico IMO
