Should I take this 1099 job?

Yes he is correct. I'll hunt the law in particular and yes it's rarely enforced. Infact it's really important to gain fluency in English.

When I was accepted into the deaf school as a child, they use a totally unique language dating back 500 years. But for me to learn? They taught me ABC, numbers and snuck in a few profane words and I had a week with about 70 other deaf, none of whom spoke a word (Nor should they, the quality of the voices is not worth it) by the end of that week and first month and year I was able to do well with that language.

If you were a Spaniard and heard me speak Spanish which is not my native language near Mexico out of necessity, you are going to laugh so hard. And that's fine. I know my Spanish is horrible. Comical even. So they crack jokes. Just a example. If I had to stay in Mexico 6 months I'll learn that language out of necessity. But they will still laugh and point.

The FMCSA does have a law requiring English of truckers. HOWEVER they recently examined ways to fiddle with that law and decided to leave it alone "And not enforce or require testing"

Regulations

 

Half of the American born truck divers can't speak decent English.
