USDOT to require that all CDL testing be conducted in English-only

# CDL Testing to Shift to English-Only Requirement The USDOT has announced plans to require all commercial driver's license tests to be administered exclusively in English, a significant policy shift aimed at enhancing highway safety. This change will directly impact prospective drivers, particularly those for whom English is a second language, and could affect the pool of qualified candidates entering the trucking industry. Current and future owner-operators should monitor this rulemaking process for implementation timelines and any grandfathering provisions for existing drivers.
