ENGLISH SPEAKING ONLY TRUCK DRIVERS

By Bob Walsh

Trump signed an executive order yesterday mandating that persons operating large trucks on American highways have a reasonable command of English.  Apparently a significant number of truck drivers from Mexico speak zero English and they do not understand our road signs and can not interact with the police and other officials effectively.  Seems like as reasonable idea to me.
