Executive Order on Commercial Motor Vehicle Operations

Seems reasonable and responsible to me, but of course, the libs and progressives are losing their damn minds once again...

The order, signed by Trump on Monday, says that in order to operate a commercial vehicle, a driver must "read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records."

But by his senting hearing in 2022, he was speaking English. Go figure.

They didn’t have to before? I mean all of our signs are in English. I live in a. Truck stop town and that explains a lot of how they drive.

a peculiar memorandum by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), issued in the waning days of the Obama administration, that waived the enforcement of English proficiency standards for those who hold a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL). Prior to this memorandum, any commercial driver who was found by police or enforcement officials to be unable to communicate in English would be placed “Out of Service,” since their inability to speak English was deemed an imminent safety hazard to motorists.

But the same guy doesn't need an ID to vote.

But the same guy doesn't need an ID to vote.

AND the guy doesn't need an ID to vote.

These are the things that President Trump is correcting.

Between low wages, high fees for tolls and permits, expensive fuel, difficulty finding overnight parking, ELD logs with mandatory breaks and resets (that don't count if you're being loaded/unloaded), defective DEF systems causing constant breakdowns, speed limiters set at 57, and the industry being FLOODED with non English speakers who violate all DOT and traffic laws, most American truckers are walking away. Companies are literally finding people in homeless shelters and sending them to CDL school. Nearly every commercial trucker on the road now is foreign. The Sikhs were always cool, but the Russians and Habibis hate everyone on the road.

Just in time for obsolescence.

Driverless trucks are officially running their first regular long-haul routes, making roundtrips between Dallas and Houston.

On Thursday, autonomous trucking firm Aurora announced it launched commercial service in Texas under its first customers, Uber Freight and Hirschbach Motor Lines, which delivers time- and temperature-sensitive freight. Both companies conducted test runs with Aurora, including safety drivers to monitor the self-driving technology dubbed "Aurora Driver."

Aurora's new commercial service will no longer have safety drivers.

What could possibly go wrong?

The accident trail lawyers are salivating for the first incident. Can you imagine the payout for when an "autonomous" 18-wheeler wipes out a family sedan?

Interesting, I wonder if the A.I. legal aid will cover for the autonomous self driver program?
