If someone cannot speak English, they shouldn’t be anywhere near the wheel of a big rig hauling 70,000lbs.
Anyone with common sense can understand why this is important.
The Gateway Pundit reported,
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced that 1,500 trucks have been taken off the road because the drivers did not speak English.
Newsmax’s host Rob Finnerty asked, “How important is it for truck drivers in this country to speak English?”
Duffy replied, “Listen, it’s wildy important because this has been on the American books for decades, because if you’re pulled over or you have a crash, and you can’t communicate with law enforcement or with first responders, it’s a truely safety issue.”
“Barack Obama, what he did is he took the teeth out of this rule of English only. We brought those teeth back to the pre-Obama era to go ‘we’re going to put you out of business.’”
“We’ve taken 1,500 trucks out of service, off the roads because the drivers couldn’t speak English.”
“I think that’s what the American people expect from us. English is the language of the United States of America.”
“If you’re going to get in a mobile missile, you should speak our language.”
If a trucker cannot speak English how can he understand traffic signs, speak with law enforcement, or understand weigh stations?
Americans traveling on our highways and interstates should not have to worry about a foreign truck driver plowing into them because he couldn’t road signs.
