here in Colorado that I can remember, where the Semi Driver could not read, write, or speak english..........One couldn't read the warning signs to truckers of steep grades ahead, to use lower gear, and how to use the runaway truck ramp. He had a run away truck as a result, slamming into a large group of cars stopped in rush hour traffic, at full speed..........It was Horrific..........

There was a Colorado company that had 50? semis in operation, with drivers that didn't have the required CDL licenses, and it was reported that most couldn't read english. Same thing, it wasn't brought to light until one of their drivers killed several innocent drivers because he couldn't read english warning signs....
