English Language Proficiency Enforcement: Your Questions Answered | TTT Podcast Episode 31

Описание: About the Podcast:

The trucking industry is bracing for a significant shift in enforcement. On June 25, 2025, a new enforcement directive will take effect, placing drivers out-of-service if they fail to meet English language proficiency (ELP) standards under FMCSA regulation 391.11(b)(2). This change, prompted by a presidential executive order, has sparked intense discussion across the industry – and for good reason.

In this episode of the TTT podcast, industry experts Adrienne Gildea (CVSA), Chris Eckhart (Scopelitis Law Firm), Bert Mayo (TrueNorth), and hosts Sean Garney and Steve Keppler unpack the details and implications of this directive.
