Driving Success Webinar: Navigating English Language Proficiency Rules

Wednesday, November 18, 2026 | 3:00 PM ET

English Language Proficiency rules have been part of federal driver qualification requirements for decades. However, stricter roadside enforcement has raised the stakes for trucking companies. Since June 25, 2025, drivers who fail to meet these requirements can be placed out of service, leading to costly delays, compliance concerns, and operational disruptions.
