Indeed it would.

On my daily commute on the freeway, I'd have a semi try to kill me at least once a week.

Foreign drivers are by far the worst.

They a unskilled and they have absolutely no regard for safety or following the rules of the road. They work for fly by night shell companies that operate until they are forced out of business and then they re start under a different name.

They come from Eastern Europe, Mexico, South America, India, Pakistan and other third world locations. Nobody carers because independent trucking brokers put loads up for grabs on web sites and other networks and take the first operator who is willing to transport the load.

The trucking shortage has been so bad that nobody is asking any questions - they just want to get the goods to the destination at the best and most profitable price.

President Trump’s administration has taken action related to these licenses, including:
Launching a nationwide audit into state practices in issuing non-domiciled CDLs due to concerns about unqualified individuals obtaining licenses and posing a hazard on the roads.

Implementing a digital medical certification system for CDLs to combat fraud and improve safety. This system aims to replace paper documents, making it easier for lawful drivers and harder for those attempting fraud, according to U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy.

There is no information in the provided search results to suggest that Trump has revoked the entirety of Trucker licenses.

Instead, the focus has been on improving the integrity and safety of the licensing process and addressing concerns related to potential abuses or flaws in the system.
