Original Date Announced
April 28, 2025President Trump issued Executive Order 14286, “Enforcing Commonsense Rules of the Road for America's Truck Drivers," which builds upon Executive Order 14224 "Designating English as the Official Language of the United States." EO 14286 declares that the administration will enforce longstanding federal safety regulations requiring commercial drivers to "read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records.”
The EO directs the Secretary of Transportation, acting through the Administrator of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), to rescind, within 60 days of the order, the previous English-language testing policy. The Secretary must issue new guidance to FMCSA and enforcement personnel outlining revised inspection procedures necessary to ensure compliance with the requirements of 49 CFR 391.11(b)(2). The Secretary should also “identify and begin carrying out additional administrative, regulatory, or enforcement actions to improve the working conditions of America’s truck drivers."
