CarriersEdge launches English Language Proficiency Assessment
CarriersEdge, provider of online driver training for the trucking industry, has released an online English Language Proficiency Assessment.
The assessment was created to help carriers prepare for enforcement of the English Language Proficiency requirements under 49 CFR §391.11(b)(2) in the U.S., according to a news release. Recent changes allowing for drivers to be placed out of service if they fail a roadside English proficiency interview have many carriers worried.
The test, available to all CarriersEdge customers, utilizes a series of visual cues and audio questions to assess a driver’s ability to understand and respond to the types of questions they may encounter during a roadside inspection. It includes identifying the meaning of various road signs and responding to questions they may be asked. The results can provide carriers with insights into how their drivers may perform in a real-world scenario.
