ARKANSAS English Checks Have Begun, They’re checking ALL trucks

That’s not what you said. You said it’s not likely to happen at a license bureau, when in reality that is where it’s likely to happen. One of the stories in an above screenshot went on for just under 4 years in California, with three different DMV’s involved, and different trucking schools.

 

Not what I said?

Even if cousin Ivan is working at the DMV, the written tests are automated (not hard to train someone on the answers to tests) but how long before someone notices that "Ivan" passes all the foreign accents before someone gets the hint that something must be awry...?

Looks to me like it was EXACTLY what I said....

I did say it wasnt likely. And it isnt. How many testing station are there in the USA? And how many had bad cops in them? Whats the percentage? Like I said, not likely, but they would get caught if they did. EXACTLY what I said...

The ones that dont seem to get caught are the guys at the scale. Which is again, exactly what I said.

In 1984 in Arkansas I had a DOT cop ask me for my log book, It wasnt up to date. He hands it back to me. A minute later he asks to see my log book. I knew what he wanted, I just had no idea how much. So I just gave him my log book back without any money in it. He hit me a $125.00 log book fine.

AI Overview
There's no single, definitive count of "DMV testing stations" in the US, as the number varies by state and the specific type of facility. However, it's estimated that there are thousands of DMV offices and related locations across the country where drivers can conduct various vehicle-related transactions, including obtaining licenses and conducting driving tests

 

In Minneapolis, I can guarantee you that I can find a connection within the DMV area—someone willing to take money to help pass the CDL test, if the price is right. Many Somali friends, certain minorities from various community have connections willing to sign off on those yellow papers indicating a student has completed everything—all for a certain amount of money. This is actually a huge problem, not just in Minnesota but also across the border in Wisconsin and Illinois. What I mean is, I know the environment and the people who work in these industries here in the States, especially in the DMV, including driving schools that are competing for money.

 

Just looked at a list of MPLS area truck schools. DCTC was one of the best in the country, at least when I went there (it was called Dakota County Vo Tech back then). That one I would bet is solid. Interstate existed 20 years ago. Never liked the guy that ran it. 160 Ive heard of. Their trucks are always at Bestway in So St Paul (at the Landstar brokers repair shop there), but thats all I know about them. They werent around 20 years ago. All the other schools that existed back then arent there anymore. There used to be 6 I think? Schools 20 years ago. Now there is 20 or so? Really? There isnt a big enough market there to support that many schools.

I would bet that "HabHab" is shady. But I cant think of any TC area exam stations that would look the other way. MAYBE Rochester, they were easier to pass, the outfit I used to work at used to send people there after I left. We went to Eagan when I was there which was one of the toughest in the country at the time. Also why I would think Interstate is an ok school, they test there as well. Wisconsin test is 50% pre-trip and 50% just riding around the country, so its not like thats a tough one.

A school faking the paperwork is one thing. Cops passing people for money is what he was talking about. And as I said, Im not aware of any of that going on in Minnesota. Never even heard rumors to that effect.
