E368 - Is comprehending English critical when drving a truck?

Are you allowed to change lanes in an intersection? I have the answer and one listener's voicemail. Also, President Trump signed an executive order requiring all commercial truck drivers in the US to demonstrate proficiency in English saying it is a critical safety matter. After one of our Denver7 reporters covered the story for television, a retired CDL driver, trainer & instructor, Tom McIntosh, reached out saying he has some comments that could be helpful as to why this issue is all about safety. I visit with Tom about his experience behind the wheel of a truck and how knowing the language of where you are driving is critical for safety. All that and more on the Driving You Crazy Podcast.
