Small Business in Transportation Coalition - Petition for Rulemaking

Summary: The Small Business in Transportation Coalition (SBTC) is requesting that the FMCSA amend or repeal 49 CFR § 383.133(b)(3) to require that commercial driver knowledge tests be administered in English or include a specific English proficiency component. They argue that current state practices of allowing non-English testing create safety risks and place an unfair burden on the trucking industry to verify driver qualifications.
