Can't Read English? $5K Fine

 Apparently the State of Arkansas has had it with semi-truck drivers who are.........a problem.

Truck driver in Arkansas at a weigh station [reports] - They’re stopping ALL trucks - Everyone is handed a piece of paper - They must read it out loud - They must also write what they’re told to write “I was actually witnessing people in handcuffs that had been pulled in. I was like, what's going on? He goes, we've come across now that if you cannot read or write in English, that it's a $5,000 fine. And if you have a company in Arkansas that employs people that can't read or write in English, it's a $10,000 fine paid on the spot. If you cannot pay it, you're automatically arrested and lose your license”

There is a flaw here:  if these drivers cannot read/write English, how the Hell did they get a CDL-A?

First guess:  their employer "helped" them cheat on the test, somehow.

Second guess:  the trucker in the video garbled the story.

Hmmmmm.

Sometime ago in an earlier post, you noted that they seem to get in a lot of accidents as well because they can’t drive in the snow all at a cost to you and me and every taxpayer in this country
