So many would-be drivers said this was their number one barrier to entering the field; this could make a *huge* dent in the hiring crisis.

These are the agencies that the Commerce Committee, headed by your very own Teddy Cancun, oversees. He's the guy w/oversight authority over Sean Duffy's cuts to FAA (and failures to respond to plane crashes). Think of creative ways to lobby him!

They're already required to do so. Both the CDL testing (which is in English) and the FMCSA reg's require English proficiency. This is just a shiny object to distract.

Anyways the FAA runs safety in an industry with rising passenger numbers and the lowest death rate by mile and by trip of motorized vehicle in the country. If they’re in crisis what does that mean about FHWA/FMCSA/NHTSA?
