Inspection of truck drivers in one state nabbed more than 600 drivers who couldn’t speak English

As the U.S. Department of Transportation cracks down on schools that crank out commercial driver's licenses and requires tests be conducted in English, states like Wyoming with long stretches of highways, are also enforcing laws to ensure big rig drivers can read and understand English.

High-profile fatal accidents on America’s highways involving semi-truck drivers with limited proficiency in English have led to a nationwide effort to crack down on the issuing of commercial driver's licenses (CDL) to such drivers.

Statistics that the Wyoming Highway Patrol released last week show how widespread the problem is.

Out of 16,676 inspections on commercial vehicles in 2025, 676 resulted in violations where drivers failed the interview because they weren’t proficient in the English language.

In Wyoming alone?



WYOMING?

How many of those drivers responsible for those accidents are unlicensed, have revoked licenses, were issued fradulent licenses, in addition to being criminal illegal immigrant foreigners?

Every state should inspect every incoming interstate truck driver upon entry to their state.

Why should the drivers of Wyoming have to worry about an unqualified criminal illegal alien foreigner interstate truck driver from Massachusetts, California, or Minnesota?

States' non-conformity to the Federal Supremacy Clause on immigration matters is breaking down the viability and trust in interstate compacts among states for non-Federal, non-intrastate matters.

The Registry of Motor Vehicles of Wyoming can no longer count on the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles to fulfill its obligations under interstate compacts.

RINO observes (very accurately):
"States' non-conformity to the Federal Supremacy Clause on immigration matters is breaking down the viability and trust in interstate compacts among states for non-Federal, non-intrastate matters."

I would expect this "non-conformity" to INCREASE in the months to come, to the point of open and outright defiance.

What the feds do in response... well, that's up to Mr. Trump, and how much of a confrontational stance he's willing to take...
