Legal Consequences of a Non-English Speaking Truck Driver

Legal Consequences of a Non-English Speaking Truck Driver

Jan 27, 2017

I recently wrote about the FMCSA regulations governing the hiring of non-English speaking drivers – in short, a motor carrier shouldn’t hire a non-English speaking truck driver. The Department of Transportation and Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration require that truck drivers be able to read and speak English well enough to communicate with the general public, to understand road signs and signals that are in English, to respond to law enforcement and DOT officials, and to fill out paperwork. See 49 C.F.R. § 391.11(b)(2). But there are truck drivers out on the roads who don’t speak or understand English well enough...

Being a lawyer doesn’t mean doing business as usual.
