WASHINGTON – Federal transportation officials announced Friday they will implement new regulations mandating that commercial truck driver examinations be conducted exclusively in English, while also pledging to crack down on illegitimate driver training programs.
The U.S. Transportation Department revealed plans to eliminate the self-certification process for commercial truck driving schools following the discovery of hundreds of training programs that failed to comply with federal standards. The current administration has implemented multiple measures to address issues related to foreign commercial drivers with limited English proficiency.
