Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued the warning following an investigation this past month that was triggered by a deadly crash in Florida involving a truck driver accused of being in the United States illegally and <a href="https://www.ntd.com/semi-truck-driver-accused-in-deadly-florida-crash-failed-english-road-sign-tests-dhs_1085961.html">lacking English</a> proficiency. The crash occurred <a href="https://www.ntd.com/truck-driver-arrested-after-illegal-u-turn-kills-three-immigration-detainer-issued_1085543.html">Aug. 12</a> and killed three individuals after the driver made an illegal U-turn on a highway.

“States don’t get to pick and choose which federal safety rules to follow,” said Duffy in a <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/trumps-transportation-secretary-sean-p-duffy-california-washington-and-new-mexico">press release.</a> “As we saw with the horrific Florida crash that killed three, when states fail to enforce the law, they put the driving public in danger. Under President Trump’s leadership, we are taking aggressive action to close these safety gaps, hold states accountable, and make sure every commercial driver on the road is qualified to operate a 40-ton vehicle.”

The DOT found that California, Washington, and New Mexico were not enforcing rules regarding inspections since <a href="https://www.ntd.com/truck-drivers-ticketed-in-alabama-for-not-speaking-english-amid-renewed-federal-enforcement_1083398.html">new requirements</a> took effect in June. It was discovered that only a handful of drivers were removed from service for English-language violations despite thousands of inspections in these states.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration found substantial enforcement lapses in all three states. The investigation found that between June 25 and Aug. 21:
<ul>
 	<li>California conducted roughly 34,000 inspections but placed only one driver out of service for English Language Proficiency (ELP) violations, despite at least 23 drivers previously cited in other states operating there without consequence.</li>
 	<li>Washington inspected more than 6,000 drivers, yet only four were removed from service for ELP issues; in two cases, citations were issued without subsequent enforcement. Additionally, at least four drivers with out-of-state ELP violations continued driving.</li>
 	<li>New Mexico placed zero drivers out of service and allowed at least seven drivers previously found unqualified for ELP to remain on the road.</li>
</ul>
The states have received formal "Notices of Proposed Determination of Nonconformity," initiating a process that could suspend all funding from the Motor Carrier Safety Assistance Program if they fail to demonstrate compliance within 30 days.

"These actions also come as Secretary Duffy advances its <a href="https://www.transportation.gov/briefing-room/president-trumps-transportation-secretary-sean-p-duffy-announces-nationwide-audit">nationwide audit</a> of non-domiciled commercial driver’s license (CDL) issuance – part of a broader effort to enhance safety on America’s roads and restore order to the trucking industry," states the press release.

“Enforcing English proficiency rules is about keeping EVERYBODY safe on the road. Nobody driving an 18-wheeler should be allowed on America’s highways if they can’t speak and read English (stop sign emoji)," Duffy <a href="https://x.com/SecDuffy/status/1960389729326682307">posted</a> on Aug. 26.
