Heads up! On May 21, 2025, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) officially rolled out a new two-step process to assess English Language Proficiency (ELP) for truck drivers during roadside inspections. The agency’s goal is to enforce regulations that require drivers operating in interstate commerce to be proficient in English, both speaking and reading.

Step 1: English Interview
During the inspection, the officer will begin by speaking to the driver in English only. Drivers are required to understand and respond appropriately to official questions and instructions. The use of interpreters, apps, or translation tools is not allowed.
If the driver fails to demonstrate proficiency, the inspection ends immediately.
The driver will be cited for an ELP violation and will not proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Highway Traffic Sign Recognition
If the driver passes the interview, the officer will then assess whether the driver can read and understand U.S. traffic signs, including electronic message boards and detour signage.

Penalties:
Drivers failing the process will be placed out-of-service (OOS) immediately.
FMCSA may also initiate disqualification proceedings, which can ban the driver from operating a commercial motor vehicle in interstate commerce.

Exemption:
Drivers operating within commercial zones along the U.S.-Mexico border are exempt from the
OOS rule. They will still be cited but not placed out-of-service or disqualified.
This change follows an Executive Order signed in April 2025 reinstating English Language Proficiency as an OOS-level violation, with full enforcement beginning June 25, 2025.
This is to ensure that the driver can respond to real-time roadway instructions and alerts.
