Practice Stop vs Permit Ready

Practice Stop helps truck drivers get ready for the English check at DOT inspections. Short lessons teach questions an officer may ask and common USA road signs. Use the app in English, Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Punjabi, Arabic or Tagalog. The lessons teach English. Practice Stop is an independent learning app. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by FMCSA, DOT, CVSA or any government agency. What happens at the English proficiency test (ELP test) • At a roadside inspection or traffic stop, the officer may ask about your trip and your job in English: "Where are you coming from?", "What are you hauling?", "Can I see your logs?" • You may also be asked to explain US highway traffic signs, including electronic message signs. • Translation apps, I-Speak cards and interpreters are not allowed. You answer on your own. • Drivers who fail can be placed out of service. Since June 25, 2025, English proficiency is part of the CVSA out of service criteria. • US DOT said more than 26,000 drivers had been placed out of service for English proficiency (Aug 10, 2026, reported by FreightWaves). • On Aug 10, 2026, FMCSA proposed a rule to put this into the regulations. It is a proposal, not a final rule.
