在 Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration（FMCSA） 的联邦法规中，持有商用驾驶执照（CDL，commercial driver’s license）的司机原则上必须具备“能够读、会说英语，以理解交通标志、与执法人员交流、填写报告和记录”的能力。
具体为：《49 CFR 391.11(b)(2)》规定：“… able to read and speak the English language sufficiently to converse with the general public, to understand highway traffic signs and signals in the English language, to respond to official inquiries, and to make entries on reports and records.”
