FMCSA Proposes to Make English Language Proficiency Requirement an Out-of-Service Violation

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) is proposing a rule to codify the English language proficiency (ELP) driver qualification requirement as an out-of-service (OOS) violation, in response to a petition from the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA), to ensure uniform enforcement of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and the North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria.
