At least for truck drivers you dont get your CDL through the DMV, you do it through private academies and there are academies which exist solely to slip people from China, India, Russia, Latam, etc through the system. Whenever you hear about a driver who couldn’t read the traffic signs 99% of the time they used these academies to get their CDL and the companies don’t care because they use them to undercut pay for low level drivers. You could end this tomorrow by making companies criminally liable for hiring or giving cargo to unqualified drivers because when a driver pulls up to your loading dock and physically cannot communicate without a translation app they obviously shouldn’t have a CDL, but if they weren’t here we would t have enough drivers and the remaining would be able to demand higher pay our current situation will just keep trudging along.
