A Somali driver caught barreling an “80-ton truck” the wrong way down a Missouri highway failed an English proficiency test — and wasn’t able to read road signs, authorities said.
The trucker was filmed driving south in the northbound lanes on Highway 61 near Troy, about 55 miles outside of St. Louis, at 8 a.m. Wednesday before finally crossing over and heading the right way, terrifying video shared by US Transportation Security Sean Duffy on X shows.
“We have learned that a truck driver with a Minnesota CDL who couldn’t read basic road signs spent MILES driving the wrong way in an 80 TON truck!” Duffy wrote on Wednesday.

Holy crap - I would make this a commercial and run it every day until mid terms. Nothing scarier to an average citizen who spends any time driving
You start with a cdl and move up to medicaid fraud.
I’d like to see a photo of this “80-ton truck.” It would be highly embarrassing if the U.S. Secretary of Transportation didn’t have even a basic understanding of weight limits on the nation’s highway system.
One of the reasons I recently installed a dashcam on the car we usually drive. (I need to take time to install one on the rear too.)
Local (STL) news said that he wasn’t arrested, but that ICE was informed. Also the outfit he worked for was based at an apartment in Minn.
This is all the result of that Black Hawk down intervention. Every single intervention and where we launch results in a flood of those foreigners coming to America.…… As we’re about to intervene in Iran, and we’re getting deeper into the Gaza thing, we’re taking over Venezuela and having an eye on overthrowing Cuba.
DC is freaking determined to spread the joy and create more migrants
Just like the Democrats who sponsored this illegal alien....always driving America opposite to where it needs to go...
Yeah it would make a great ad!
Of course he did, illegals can take these tests 50 times if they have to until they pass or someone slips the instructor a 20..the left doesnt care, its not their family members being killed by illegals so for them its a “Well so what”
A typical long haul tractor trailer is rated at maximum, 80,0000 lb, when loaded.
Just saying
Probanly confused 80k lbs and 80 tons
He would have failed the proficiency tests even if he was born here
He must be thinking a ton is 1,000 pounds. New maths?
If a Somali’s gonna drive a big rig the wrong way on a highway, what difference does his ability to read signs make?
Both of you are idiotic nitpickers. The information was conveyed in a way that the public understood the danger.
