Trucking safety rules would get tougher for drivers and companies.
This bill would make it harder for unsafe trucking companies to operate. It would also require commercial truck drivers to prove legal immigration status and pass an English test. The bill aims to improve road safety and ensure fair competition by cracking down on companies that try to avoid safety rules and by limiting foreign trucks from making domestic deliveries. States would need to enforce these new rules or risk losing federal highway money.
Today, commercial truck drivers do not have a federal requirement to prove lawful immigration status. They also do not need to pass a standardized English language test to get or renew their license. Trucking companies might also find it easier to avoid past safety records by changing their business identity. After this bill, drivers would need to meet new federal immigration and English proficiency standards. Companies would also face tougher rules against using new identities to evade safety sanctions. Foreign trucks would also face stricter enforcement of rules limiting them from making domestic deliveries.
