On April 28, 2025, a significant Executive Order (EO) was signed by President Trump that will reshape critical areas of the trucking industry — particularly focusing on English-language requirements and the prevention of fraudulent CDLs. At Parham Dispatching, where we proudly operate as a 100% U.S.-based company, these changes reinforce the very principles we’ve stood behind from day one: safety, integrity, and professionalism on America’s roads.
🔍 What the Executive Order Says
The EO makes it clear — English proficiency is not just a preference; it’s a legal requirement that has been under-enforced for years. This move aims to ensure that every commercial driver can:
- Read and understand road signs.
- Communicate with law enforcement, DOT officers, and customers.
- Safely relay and receive critical information about their loads and routes.
President Trump stated:
“Proficiency in English…should be a non-negotiable safety requirement for professional drivers.”
In addition to language enforcement, the order directs the Department of Transportation and FMCSA to:
- Rescind outdated 2016 policies and issue new inspection guidance.
- Update out-of-service criteria to remove drivers who don’t meet language standards.
- Investigate fraudulent CDL issuance, especially involving non-domiciled drivers.
- Improve working conditions for American truckers.
🛑 Why This Matters Now
For too long, lax enforcement around CDL qualifications has led to growing safety concerns and unfair competition in the industry. This EO aims to level the playing field and restore confidence in the qualifications of every professional driver on the road.
At Parham Dispatching, we’ve always required that our dispatchers and the carriers we work with be U.S.-based and fluent in English — because clear communication saves lives, protects freight, and keeps America’s highways safer.
