If you want to drive a truck in Arkansas, you better be able to speak English

While I can understand why something like this considered it would create havoc on people that come from places like Baltimore, Chicago, Detroit and so on. It’s not that they aren’t American citizens but rather cannot read, write or speak clearly. It’s the outcome of democrat public education control.

I support what Arkansas is enforcing. Go hawgs.

I had a long response which may read hypocritical/ funny after this first line. I've kept it anyway.

I'm generally supportive of this.... Driving is a privilege after all -- Commercial driving even more so.

But they don't want to check my handwriting.

What's a pass, should it be in cursive or will print do?

And there is the rub. Many are fine being able to read / identify any traffic signs and messages for driving. They can sign there name where instructed by law enforcement with the 'This is not an admission of guilt - just show up'

This seems a little excessive.

If you can't read English how in the hell can you read a roadsign?

I can't read Dutch, but I drove a car for 3 weeks in Holland in 1985, long before GPS was a thing.

Misuse of there rather than thier. Cuff em. Open and shut case Johnson lol

With the number of truck drivers I deal with in a weekly basis in Arkansas, I’m not sure I buy this. However I would support this if it were the case. Really sucks when you can’t explain something to a truck driver cause they just don’t comprehend.

The trade agreement, Mexico’s / America’s first allowed border crossing by Mexican truckers up into Texas only . It wasn’t long before the Mexican carriers had full access into America and Canada with a Mexican CDL and are some of the largest carriers of all. They are not getting training inside America and are but a occupant in a seat. Now that illegals have crossed into America the largest American truck lines hire them as they are much cheaper to employ.
