Hi, my friend has been driving a truck for more than 10 years with no any violation - absolutely clear record. He owns his truck and has worked for many companies. He was driving cost to cost for many years, worked in the New Ark seaport and for the last couple of years he has been working locally here in Philadelphia area. My friend has a limited English, but his English is good enough to read signs, write reports, take the assignments, communicate with dispathers, other truckers, police officers if needed when he has been stopped on a road for any reason. As I said, his 10 years driving record as a trucker has no any violations and no one has never complained that his English is not enough to perform his work excellent.
Recently he was stopped by the police officer on the PA Turnpike - the reason was something about one of the truck's light not working. The officer did not understand something that my friend said or my friend did not undertand something the officer said - we are not sure about this. The officer gave him a ticket for the not working light, but the police officer gave him some points and his employer company. Also in the report he marked the licence as OUT OF SERVICE due to the insufficient English. Now my friend cannot take any work untill a Court decision. The company owner hired a layer who will represent both my friend and his employer. We would like to know what the law says about this? Does not a 10 years experience and an excellent driving record prove that he is a good driver whose English is good enough to have a work. Thank you!
