These facts have thrown this incident into the ongoing policy conversation over illegal immigrant truck drivers and unqualified CDL holders. Under the second Trump administration, the DOT has worked hard to roll back a widespread system of “sham” CDL licensure, from schools that never place drivers behind a wheel to licensure outsourcing practices designed to maximize volume over safety.
“This is exactly why we are holding states’ accountable, enforcing the rules of the road, and cracking down on drivers who can’t speak English,” Duffy declared. “If you can’t be properly trained, read our road signs, or communicate with law enforcement, you have no business driving a bus.”
