    It is in the Dot regulations! You have to speak and read the signs on the road! It's a safety issue! He needs to learn how to read and write english!

    This is common practice with Alabama DOT & state troopers.
    Where was your driver when this happened?

    They are asked questions about road signs (in English) and they are required to answer in English what they mean. If the driver isnt responding correctly then why shouldnt he be put out of service? Just because someone "can drive truck" doesnt mean they should be.
