ARKANSAS English Checks Have Begun, They’re checking ALL trucks

Ain't you from California? They call ice cream Nazi if it doesn't have sprinkles on it.

 

No. Having a hearing impairment waiver just means that the speak English rule is waived. They can still read and write so they’re allowed to communicate that way.

fwiw and I know already this goes right over some people’s heads..
The fmcsa put the burden of the whole communicate in English rule onto the carriers.

This is how the fmcsa did it so they wouldn’t be sued for civil rights violations.

It’s up to the Carriers to vet their drivers, no one else. Unfortunately for the carriers that employ these flawed drivers they always lose in court when the crap hits the fan. They’re most always settled out of court.

 

The article indicates non-US citizens and US issued CDL.

 

Yep, they can.

In no way is this a 5th Amendment right violation.

No you don't, this is where everyone is getting their panties in a twist about it and following the idiotic soveriegn citizens script.

You have a CDL and you have an expectation of being inspected to make sure that the regulations (Key Word). When a state officer pulls you over to do a L1-L3 inspection, it is being done under an Administrative Action to make sure there is regulatory compliance.

Under the law, and under New York v. Burger, there is no expectation of total privacy and your actions are required to fulfill the FMCSA regulation check.

So the problem is most of you guys are confusing a regulation with a law or statute.

You are also confusing the administration of regulation with criminal investigations.

Actually Germans used the courts like the left here does, and they stripped rights from one group to benefit the other.

Actually under the constitution, California can only apply its laws and regulations to its domestic trucks. If they have prevented someone from accessing the markets of the state who is from another state, that violates the IC Clause. The courts have yet to touch this and no one has the balls in this industry to fight it. One of the things that we need to see the Transportation Freedom Act passed is it shuts down CARB when it comes to foreign trucks (that is trucks from other states).

Yep, this is how it is supposed to be. Just keep writting to your rep and senators and tell them how this crap has prevented you from making money.

Nope, it is clear, the interstate commerce clause has been very clear and defined.

You don't have the right to remain silent because the second you make this claim, it turns from an administrative action to a criminal action and this can turn very nasty. It is best to just answer the questions and stop acting like you have a privilege to refuse an inspection.

They speak a form of English, it isn't really English, it is more like ... martian. By the way, if you want to know what it was like to be in the colonies and England before splitsville with the king, just talk to anyone in the Midwest, this is what they sounded like - not making this up.

Yep ...
CFR § 391.11(b)(2), which states that a driver must:

(2) Be able to 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.

Now I know there are a hell of a lot drivers who do not by any means meet this regulation.

True, any state can but states are not allowed to apply those regulations onto foreign registered vehicles - meaning from other states.

There is, there is a lot of tests to test levels of fluency. They've been around since before WW2.

Nope, there is nothing that says they allow an app as a substitution for the language skill.

Yes it is, and the people there know how to speak English but don't like to.

Yep, this is what it is all about, Canadians do not have to worry because of the issuing of their version of the CDL. The USMCA does have an English language portion, but that is not an issue because English is the official language of Canada along with the other one ... French.

 

Lol, that's funny

 

FMCSR 391.11(b)(2) requires that driver’s be able to read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, and to respond to official inquiries and to make entries on required reports and records.
Compliance with this regulation can be met through the use of any number of tools and/or resources. Some of these may include, but are not limited to:
• Google Translate.
• I-Speak cards.
• Cue Cards.
• Smart Phone Apps.
• Interpreters (whether in person or by phone).
**Use of any of these tools does not constitute a violation of 391.11b2**.

But why would they be in handcuffs?

 

One reason I quit Facebook.

 

Lol, you really have to feel bad for people who post crap like this. We need to start a TTR scholarship fund

 

I love reading stories like this, and I need a doctor.

My erection has lasted almost four months now. I can't take anymore winning.
