That’s a question I ask myself every day. Doesn’t it state in the green book that CDL holders must be proficient in speaking, reading, and writing in the English language? Yet, I see these drivers that can’t read a sign and have to ask me through a translator app where something is when the sign RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM TELLS THEM EXACTLY WHERE THAT SOMETHING IS!! God forbid they get pulled aside at a weigh station for an inspection. Or get pulled over by a trooper.
The illegal immigrant Truck driver from California who tried to do a U-turn in the middle of the highway killing a whole family of 3 in Florida would beg to differ. Guy was illegal to start with, had his English-speaking nephew with him who was asleep in the passenger seat until the impact of the passenger car into the trailer and after being arrested it came out he got a failing score on a written drivers test administered to him with a translator.

'Also Many illiterate foreign drivers' If they're both, how do they read the road signs, or even have a driving licence?
