The Trump administration announced in December that it pulled nearly 10,000 commercial truck drivers off U.S. roadways for failing to “speak English sufficiently.” The boast comes as trucking companies have raised alarms about drivers being targeted by President Trump’s immigration agenda.
The industry – which was already grappling with declining freight volumes and rising overheads – is bracing for a significant drop in the supply of drivers due to the federal government’s enforcement actions, Bloomberg reported. Trump signed an executive order in March designating English as the country’s official language.
