Reconsider discriminatory trucking law, promote inclusive training solutions.

I urge you to refrain from enacting laws similar to Arkansas' recent legislation that imposes hefty fines on truck drivers who cannot exhibit English proficiency. While ensuring clear communication for safety is crucial, penalizing individuals solely based on language abilities is counterproductive and discriminatory. Such measures disproportionately impact immigrant and refugee drivers who contribute substantially to the trucking workforce and economy. Instead of punitive actions, invest in accessible English language training programs tailored to the trucking industry. This inclusive approach empowers drivers to develop necessary communication skills while respecting diversity. By prioritizing education over criminalization, we can foster an equitable trucking industry that harnesses talents regardless of native language, aligning with our values of embracing diversity and promoting economic opportunity.
