Thought the rule was every new CDL driver was supposed to be trained at a proper driver school. If they are not trained that would suggest there is some kind of corruption going on high up in the Transport department.

On Wednesday, April 9, the Arkansas House passed HB1745 with an 82-0 vote after clearing the Senate unanimously last week. In addition to an English-proficiency provision for CDL holders, the bill also makes false or improper documentation a felony for foreign-domiciled truck drivers.
Once the bill is signed into law, anyone operating a commercial vehicle must exhibit English proficiency. Truck drivers must be able to show that they can read and speak English sufficiently to:
- Converse with the general public
- Understand highway traffic signs and signals in English
- Respond to official inquiries
- Make entries on reports and records
Siinman, hope not dumb twucker and JB7 Thank this. -
The ELDT rule really changed nothing. You can do the theory training online, many courses under $100, and the training hours behind the wheel aren’t specified. So people learn just enough to pass the test, same as it’s always been.Siinman, bryan21384, gentleroger and 2 others Thank this.

65000 is really not that much. It's 3 million or so drivers. How does that really move the needle in terms of cutting costs?
Besides, US drivers don't really stay in the industry that long anyway so how is 65000 foreigners supposed to supplant the mich higher number of drivers that don't last longer than 1 to 3 years?dancecanyon Thanks this. -
65 000 on the top of 1 million + in the past 4 years, to all of them illegally given SSN's and CDL's. And they do last longer.

It's the same in the USSA. A large majority is indirectly tax funded through organizations and churchs. We're literally paying for slow genocide.lynchy, KDHCryo, Siinman and 1 other person Thank this.

There are 3 million cdl holders. The majority of those are not engaged in for hire trucking. I think the number of Actual truck drivers is closer to 1 million. So 65,000 is 6.5%. That quite a large amountSL3406, KDHCryo, Siinman and 1 other person Thank this.
