If drivers need to know English…

Studies say... wheres the data. I showed 2 that Trumps people put out to show how bad it is. 1 of the 2 was from 2019 thats how deep they had to dig to find ANYTHING. Show the data. Post the studies.

My "politics" has nothing to do with it. My "politics" is the bill of rights. My "politics" is the constitution. My "politics" is standing up for whats right.

I voted for Trump. That doesnt mean I put blinders on and swallow whatever he hands me. Im not a lemming. Show me the data.

 

Tables tilt, ball roll the other way. Happen in every country in every language....

 

Interesting. Whats going to happen with the Quebec drivers that refuse english but dont leave Quebec?

Lol, there is no way this reg is going to make it to enforcement before its challenged. No one thought it through.

 

Does this mean all CVSA personnel need to read and speak English also , even Quebec and MEXICO?

 

Those Mexi cans are always speaking that Lingo! LOL.I have helped drivers who asked me to call a shipper and help them with directions.
Just me, but it's more of an attitude and behaviour deal—English or not.I do not like what I see, as it is turning into a we vs them sort of thing.

 

I posted the screenshot that included the title of the study and who conducted it so... that's where the data is.

Show me where the two examples presented were from a comprehensive analysis that only found two results.

You can't because it's a false standard and a dishonest move by you.

 

Yeah, I looked. It aint in there. You clearly looked also, and since you didnt post anything I have to assume you didnt find anything either. So they make claims that they cant back up. Meaningless. Come back when you have hard data...

 

Show one of the peers to that study disputing it's claims.

You can't.

It remains valid until you provide a resource on par with it disputing the claim. Directly or indirectly.

You can't.

It's simple.

English language illiteracy for Class A drivers in America is akin to distracted driving and should be regulated as such.

 

Well, the out of country drivers, I dont understand what their issue is with them. It isnt like they are running loads around the US. They can only come in, drop their load, pick up a load and go back to their country. Personally I dont give a crap about them, I dont leave the US so they can have all that Canada/Mexico crap.

The other ones... I was a CDL instructor for 3 years oh God 15-20 years ago. We had a lot of Somalians. I had 1 guy I remember clearly he had our pre-trip handout and he had written in arabic next to it, and you could tell he was reading it phonetically.

He reads "check belts and hoses".
Whats a belt? I ask.
*blank stare*
Whats a hose? I ask
*blank stare*
Go find someone to explain this to you...

I mean this "cant read english" is nothing new. Like I said earlier, its all a magic trick. Its sleight of hand. Its to try and get you to forget about this tariff bull ####. And people seem to be drinking it up. The truth is, there is NO DATA to support this.

Ask how many of these guys that are supporting this are going to STILL support it when EVERY truck on the road has to wait in line at a chicken house to read "The Cat In The Hat" to the DOT guy to prove they can read english....

They dont think about this stuff. All they can see is Trump says good, so it good. Clearly this is an exaggeration, but good lord. Some of these people really CANT think on their own... ANd it makes me happy that Im 69 and will only be out there a very short time more
