I now have a Class A CDL and deal with many many long haul truckers. So many Ukranian, Russian and East Indian drivers who do not know English whatsoever.
From what I've heard they memorize the pre-trip inspection part of the CDL exam in English. Like a verbatim script. They simply memorize the script and point to corresponding area's of the truck.
So yes they have to take the test in English but many do not speak English.
