The move is part of a broader effort to root out “bad actors” and improve road safety, in response to President Trump’s executive order aimed at strengthening highway safety standards. What Changed? Since 2016, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) did not require drivers violating English-language proficiency rules to be placed out of service. Now, under the new guidance, drivers who cannot communicate in English or read traffic signs may be pulled off the road starting June 25.
