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.
