US to require all truck driving tests occur in English, crackdown on fraudulent schools
The U.S. Transportation Department announced new rules mandating that all commercial truck driver testing be conducted in English. The move aims to standardize qualifications and ensure clear communication for safety and compliance in the trucking industry.
The department also pledged to crack down on fraudulent commercial driver training schools and companies. The crackdown will target misleading programs, fake certifications, and other deceptive practices that can undermine driver competence and road safety.
Officials indicated the rules will include enhanced oversight, enforcement measures, and potential penalties for noncompliance by testing centers and training providers.
