FMCSA investigators began an "on-site compliance investigation on August 14, 2025, at the motor carrier's premises in California," according to the release. "During the initial phase of the compliance investigation, investigators reviewed driver qualification files, obtained in-cab and forward-facing video footage of the crash, and conducted interviews with key personnel including the crash-involved driver."

FMCSA spoke to the driver and administered an English language proficiency test in line with the agency's new guidance on the topic published in June. The driver failed that assessment, "providing correct responses to just 2 of 12 verbal questions and only accurately identifying 1 of 4 highway traffic signs."

All undocumented commercial drivers should be a priority for deportation? MichMan Aug 26 #35

Yes, I think that makes logical sense no? Truck driving is for rule followers and before Pedoprez it was easier to .. uponit7771 Aug 26 #37

That's a question that should be asked of Trump and any other elected official that has prioritized deportations. W_HAMILTON Aug 26 #41
