Well, its on now....

Well I'm sure a lot of money exchanged hands to give the motor carrier the responsibility to make the determination on a drivers English language proficiency. Obviously they saw the money that could be made by exploiting foreign drivers and the rest is history.

Now it's just gotten out of hand and American companies/workers can't compete with carriers that disregard the law. English language proficiency has always been a driver qualification requirement, it's just common sense.

Is it the only issue? No of course not but it is impactful. We finally have a president standing up for the people who actually have to live and work in THIS country. I think that's a good thing.

 

We don’t need no education. Lol. We don’t need no lymies calling trucks in america lorries while opening the bonnet to check the gear box on the petrol island.

 

but i think the major difference would be that Billy Bob Smith, is a BORN American, where as the foreigner comes here, thinks he is "entitled" to everything, and will sue if he doesn't get his way due to discrimination....and of course the people that allow him to stay here, that will fight for "his rights".....

Billy Bob's issue would be (maybe) had to work the farm at a young age so could not attend school, or lived deep in the woods, and way too far to a town to get to a school.

 

Tibbitt's towing has a nice ring to it. we also specialize in towing away fuel island blockers and immediately send their truck to the scrap yard to be crushed and the driver sent to jail with no bond and a trial set 10 years into the future

Seriously, my reply that you quoted was just me having some light hearted fun

 

It was certainly used in 2001. Had a team that one driver was put OOS in Utah.
They left and went back to a Ca carrier.
In my 2003 audit I was fined $1300 for that violation.
I'd known the son for years, perfect English. I just had never actually talked with his father.
If the state(s) adopt it as a traffic law then there can be a fine at the scale, if not the carrier can get an administrative fine during an audit.

 

Yes I understand, CVSA listed it as an oos for some years but wasn’t the fmcsa’s intention.
