A growing number of truck drivers are sounding the alarm about the shocking number of non-English speaking truckers that are on the road, and it's terrifying.
It feels like you're taking your life into your own hands every time you enter freeways these days. It is truly like "Mad Max" on the highways out here in California and other parts of the country, with truck drivers behind those 18-wheelers who clearly have no business operating a truck.

And it's leading to horrible accidents and deaths of innocent people as a result of illegal aliens driving trucks who aren't proficient in English or understand our road signs. It is all because of places like California, where, under the leadership of Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, commercial driver's licenses (CDL) have been handed out to illegal aliens.
According to the American Transportation Research Institute's 21st annual survey of top industry issues, one of the top concerns for truck drivers is English language proficiency, at third place, up from seventh just one year ago.
The report read:
Mike Kuscharski, owner of one of America's largest refrigerated trucking companies, told The Washington Times that non-English-speaking drivers regularly pull into their warehouses.
"There'll be truck drivers that come to our warehouse to pick something up. There'll be two, three truckers, two drivers in a truck, and two of them speak no English, not even a word," he said.
"One of them speaks broken English, so it's concerning because we share the roads with these people. Obviously, you see all the videos the truckers are posting."
One such video from Fox News can be seen below, where the truck driver is completely unaware of what the person is saying to them.

California Being Called to Task Over Truck-Driving Illegal Aliens
My colleague Becky Noble has done some great reporting on the issue.
Noble recently wrote:
Crashes involving these illegal truckers are happening nationwide, but the one that brought this increasingly dangerous problem to the forefront was the case of Harjinder Singh, an illegal immigrant from India, who attempted to make an illegal U-turn on a Florida highway in August, killing three people as their minivan slammed into the trailer Singh was driving. It was later revealed that he could barely speak English and read road signs.
On October 22, a fatal crash in SoCal, that killed three and hospitalized two more, involved another illegal immigrant truck driver, Jashanpreet Singh. Singh, who was issued a CDL from California, reportedly was "caught and released" after illegally crossing the border into the Golden State in 2022, RedState reported.

Kuscharski told the Times that, given these people can't read or speak English, they have to be getting help to pass the tests that are always in English.
"When I had to take the [CDL] test, it was always in English, multiple choice," he said. "How are they getting through these tasks? Who's helping them?"
Department of Transportation (DOT) Secretary Sean Duffy has made it clear he's not playing with places like California "over the issue of (CDLs) to marginally literate, non-English-speaking illegal aliens," as RedState reported.
Duffy said:
Gavin Newsom has thumbed his nose at us. He's refused to comply with the rules that have come from DOT which is, stop issuing these licenses, number one, and number two, go back and review all the licenses you have issued, and make sure it's been done legally. Gavin Newsom has said no, so I'm about to pull $160 million from California, and as we pull more money, we also have the option of pulling California's ability to issue commercial driver's licenses. Gavin Newsom cares more about illegals getting commercial driver's licenses than he does the citizens of his own state and the safety of Americans. It's shameful. He's been lying about what he's been doing. And again, we're going to fight tooth and nail under President Trump's administration to make sure that we hold states like California accountable.
This is just another problem that President Donald Trump is having to clean up — caused by the utter failure of former President Joe Biden.
Editor’s Note: The Schumer Shutdown is here. Rather than put the American people first, Chuck Schumer and the radical Democrats forced a government shutdown for healthcare for illegals. They own this.
