Mexican truck drivers are scrambling to learn English after President Trump reinstated strict enforcement of a long-ignored United States law requiring commercial drivers to speak English. The new mandate, combined with a pause on new worker visas for foreign truckers, has caused anxiety among drivers and companies who depend on cross-border trade. In response, a surge of English classes has emerged in border cities like Nuevo Laredo, where drivers are now practicing language skills to avoid being taken off the road. While some in the industry support the move for safety reasons, many fear that the rapid changes could disrupt vital shipments and worsen labor shortages.
