Non-English speaking truckers

im sitting here ,and have re-read this whole thread and it brought something to mind, when i was stationed over in germany to get a european driver lic there test is harder than ours,if i remember right there was like 125 differnt road signs that you had to know if you missed 5 you failed, this was 25 yrs ago wonder if its still the same ,but this being said mabey our rules arnt tough enough

 

sounds like a "you ain't gonna believe this , but" ..anyway, i worked through a company that had maybe 30 or 40 pct non english speaking drivers..i never understood how they made it through a day much less aweek , but they did..shakey

you know you are going to have a bad when---
you get to the shipper and he tells you its goiing to be awhile---cause ins was here yesterday

 

i m not German but where i m from still is the same you need to know all the signs and pretty much they re all the same through\ out europe, and thats not just for cdl thats for c class and another thing is everybody has to go to through school to get license doesnt matter your age, like here if you re over 18 you can just go get your permit and then drive for a quick second and you can go back to dmv and get your license, and the driving portion is way harder than here well at least in CA

 

im a foreigner also even i think if you live here you should speak some English enough to get you by some basic that you can communicate with other should be requirement

 

And just like anywhere else in this country I am curious how many times an officer hears "I no habla" when you are pretty sure that they do habla. And if you cant habla then how can you read the signs and correctly fill out the logs?

 

That's one good thing about CSA2010.

 

Usually not that big a problem. They do understand the word "Jail!" Uh, usually.
