Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is doubling down on his efforts to get foreign truck drivers off America’s highways.
Last week, Duffy announced that the Trump administration is withholding $40 million in funding for California because the blue state refuses to enforce the requirement that all truck drivers must be able to speak and read English.
Over the weekend, Duffy shared a video on X or a foreign truck driver who was headed the wrong way at night on what appears to be a four-lane interstate.
The footage is from dashcam video by another trucker, who came upon the wrong-way truck driver who had stopped on the side of the interstate.
The American driver is heard voicing his shock and outrage in a string of expletives. He stopped to yell at the parked driver, saying, “What are you doing?”
The man is heard responding in a foreign accent.
“You are going the wrong way down the freeway! You are committing a felony right now!” the American driver yells.
Sec. Duffy wrote while sharing the video, “My team has reached out to the trucker who recorded this chilling video. He did the right thing reporting the trucker driving the wrong way to police. This easily could have ended in disaster. Foreign truck drivers not being able to understand the rules of our roads is a crisis that is putting lives in danger. @USDOT is doing the work to fix it and SAVE LIVES!”
It is unclear where the incident occurred, and Duffy did not provide details on the identity of the wrong-way truck driver.
