SAN DIEGO (Border Report) — Forty Mexican truckers have lost privileges to drive on U.S. highways due to their lack of English skills, industry officials say.
Back in April, President Trump issued an executive order enforcing an existing law that mandates all truck drivers know enough English to read road signs and interact with law enforcement north of the border.

The order officially went into effect June 26.
Israel Delgado Vallejo, vice president of the Northwest Chapter of the Chamber of Freight Transportation, said the drivers taken out of service were driving through Texas, Mississippi or Arkansas.
