On this episode of Nemo Nation, hosts Dave Nemo and Jimmy Mac welcome Mark Schremmer, Senior Editor at Land Line Magazine, to unpack a major development in trucking: the State Department’s pause on work visas for commercial truck drivers.

This action comes in response to a deadly crash in Florida involving a foreign driver who failed to demonstrate English proficiency and held a non-domiciled CDL. The pause affects H-2B, E-2, and EB-3 visa categories and reflects growing outrage over safety and licensing compliance.

Topics Covered:

Why the State Department halted trucker work visas

The role of English proficiency and non-domiciled CDLs in this decision
