American Truckers United Urges Trump Admin to Ban Foreign CDLs Amid Series of Highway Crashes
As the deadline for President Trump’s Executive Order 14286, titled “Enforcing Commonsense Rules of the Road for America’s Truck Drivers,” looms, a powerful movement is gaining momentum in Washington to address a national security crisis in America’s trucking industry.
Signed in April 2025, the order mandates stricter enforcement of road safety regulations. With time running out, American Truckers United has sent an urgent letter to Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy, demanding a ban on non-domicile Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) for non-citizens and restrictions on foreign CDLs to commercial trade zones.
The letter exposes how illegal labor, exploiting loopholes from Biden-era policies, has flooded the industry with unvetted drivers. A recent Zero Hedge report highlighted how CDLs were handed out “like candy,” creating a “public safety nightmare.”
Raman Dhillon of the North American Punjabi Trucking Association warned federal agencies years ago about the dangers, noting that some drivers, with no U.S. driving experience, obtained CDLs within months. “This is a national security issue,” Dhillon told officials, yet the warnings went unheeded.
