It does not seem like this is a nationwide trend. 

MIKE NETTER: The California Department of Motor Vehicles said Friday that the federal government is requiring them to cancel the commercial driver's licenses (CDLs) of thousands of immigrant truck drivers in the state.

CRAIG FULLER: 5,000 Americans died in truck-related accidents last year. The scary part? In many cases, we don't even know who is behind the wheel.

CRAIG FULLER, FOUNDER & CEO of FREIGHT WAVES: "If you cheat, you win". We have "schools" self-certifying drivers in 2 days for $500 when it should take 12 weeks of rigorous training. This isn't a shortage; it's a safety crisis.

from Blake,

Please understand that when a driver is placed out of service for violating the elp (english language proficiency) it is TEMPORARY. Often times when an officer leaves, they resume driving. They do not lose their cdl or ability to operate. a tactic to keep the loads moving. THEY know if they have a NON English speaking driver to place a better speaking one with them. That way the truck keeps moving. This is why Connors Law, in conjunction with Dalilah Law is imperative.

CRAIG FULLER: I have zero doubt that we are seeing manufacturing starting to rip. Flatbed is naturally the first mode to signal it, as flatbeds haul heavy industrial raw materials.

We talked about greenshoots a few weeks ago, and it was exciting, but still a bit iffy.
