🚨 Non-English-Speaking Drivers Can Now Be Placed Out of Service! 🚛

Effective June 25, 2025, commercial drivers in the U.S. who cannot speak or read English well enough to communicate with safety officials, read traffic signs, or follow inspection instructions may be declared out of service (OOS) on the spot.

This change follows a new Executive Order from President Trump, reinforcing that English proficiency is now a mandatory safety requirement under federal law (49 CFR 391.11(b)(2)).

🔹 If a driver can't answer questions in English during an inspection, they won’t be allowed to drive.
🔹 FMCSA and CVSA will begin strict enforcement.
🔹 Carriers should act now to assess and train drivers accordingly.

📌 This is a major compliance change, make sure your fleet and drivers are ready!
