President Donald Trump issued an executive order mandating English proficiency for all commercial truck drivers in the United States, Fox News reported.
The directive, signed on Monday, illustrates trucker’s critical role in supporting the US economy, as well as the need of drivers understanding traffic signs, communicating with officials, and adhering to safety regulations all conducted in English.
According to the Fox News, Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy will soon announce updated testing and enforcement standards. Drivers who do not fulfill the requirement will be taken out of service.
