Trucker to Newsmax: DOT Needs to Formally Endorse English Proficiency

The Department of Transportation should formally endorse English-language proficiency for truckers, Natasha Cruz-Sanchez told Newsmax on Monday.

Cruz-Sanchez appeared on Newsmax’s “National Report” and said the lack of standardized English comprehension requirements in the trucking industry is contributing to dangerous conditions on U.S. highways.

“I think that the lack of standardization in the trucking industry is one of the main reasons why we see these horrible accidents,” Cruz-Sanchez told co-hosts Shaun Kraisman and Emma Rechenberg.
