California implemented the new federal CDL requirements in 2022. That said, I'm not sure why truck drivers that do interstate commerce hauls don't have a more standardized federal licensing requirement. I imagine it comes down to rascally states' rights.
From looking back, it seems that several states changed quite a few things with CDL during the supply chain madness in an attempt to get more commercial drivers. If I had a massive checkbook, and magic wand, I'd personally expand our rail system. Safer, more efficient, and exponentially less expensive. But, this is America where we like doing things the 'Merica way.
Sometimes I wonder if you simply don't know what DEI is, or if it's just a default snarl word that can be used as a placeholder for anything you don't like. Kind of like "woke," or "critical race theory." That said, Section 13 of the Commercial Driver Handbook for California's DMV (available through their website) literally states that failure to comprehend English, or communicate in English during the skills test ("vehicle inspection, basic control skills, and road test") results in a failure. CFR, Title 49, sections 391.11(b)(2) and 383.133(c)(5) mandate that the entire road test "must be conducted int he English language."Speaking English can't be a CDL requirement in California because it violates DEI and is considered by liberals to be an ethnocentric and xenophobic requirement.
This is one of those times where right-ring propaganda has lied to you. At some point, I would think you'd become somewhat leery of believing it wholesale without verifying.
Likely to keep Florida's economy from collapsing. We're all intricately reliant on each other, which is one of our great strengths, but sometimes a looming weakness.But why do we have to honor that license in Florida?
