Welcome to American Truckers United
The team behind the national movement demanding English proficiency for truck drivers — and calling for bans on non-domicile CDLs and B1 visitor visa abuse by Mexico and Canada — has now planted its roots in Oklahoma. That grassroots movement already produced a Presidential executive order, the passage of Oklahoma’s SB20, Operation Guardian, the USDOT’s final ruling on Non-Domicile CDLs, SCOTUS Broker Liability, and is now leading efforts to pass Dalilah’s Law.
Foundation Members
Oklahoma was chosen as national headquarters because of the state’s bold leadership in combating illegal alien truckers, its steadfast support for safe Main Street trucking companies, and its resistance to Wall Street mega-carrier influence.
For too long, the trucking industry has been misrepresented by voices that only speak for Wall Street fleets and unaccountable freight brokers. Yet the American trucking industry was built — and continues to thrive — on privately held, American-owned, asset-based operators. These are the companies that invest in safety, their people, their communities, and the infrastructure that makes the industry stronger. They do not outsource their operations overseas, they do not seek excessive profits by insourcing their drivers from the Third World, and they take full responsibility for the vetting of their truck drivers.
Governed exclusively by a board of directors composed solely of experienced asset-based operators from privately held American trucking companies — with no Wall Street carriers and no foreign controlled motor carriers — the organization will deliver a clear, united voice that puts SAFE, American-owned, asset-based fleets and their drivers first.
“Our industry was built by hard-working American truck drivers and the family-owned companies that invest in them. These companies also invest in safety, maintenance, driver vetting, and state-of-the-art equipment.” said Shannon Everett, a Founding Director. “These are the people who made American trucking great, and these are the people who will fight to make it great again.”
American Truckers United will advocate boldly against illegal immigration and illegal chameleon carriers in the brokerage ecosystem. It will fight for the industry we love by focusing on stronger highway safety, fair competition, strong borders, national security, and full accountability across the entire supply chain.
Guided by faith and grounded in the values of hard work and responsibility, American Truckers United is committed to restoring the greatness of the American-owned trucking industry. United we will Make Trucking Great Again!

A joint traffic enforcement blitz along I-40 in western Oklahoma led to the arrest of 120 immigration violators—91 of whom were operating commercial vehicles. The arrests underscore the public safety risks posed by unlicensed or unauthorized drivers on America’s highways. The three-day operation, conducted by ICE and the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, targeted criminal activity and threats to roadway safety through intensified patrols and records checks.
The American trucking industry is facing numerous underreported challenges that directly impact national security, supply chain integrity, and road safety, among other critical issues that were exacerbated by the Biden administration’s open-border crisis.
While the Trump administration’s Department of Transportation, under the leadership of Secretary Sean Duffy, has already moved to address some of the many challenges related to the issuance of commercial driver’s licenses, often referred to as CDLs, the American public remains largely unaware of the extent of those looming dangers from years of insufficient oversight in this area.
An illegal immigrant carrying a New York state commercial driver’s license with “NO NAME GIVEN” listed as his name was arrested by ICE in Oklahoma, according to DHS. The agency said that it has been working in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Transportation as well as state and local law enforcement to get illegal truck drivers off American highways following the high-profile accident involving Indian illegal Harjinder Singh. Working with the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, ICE arrested another Indian illegal alien named Anmol Anmol. DHS said that Anmol was carrying a New York commercial driver’s license on which his first name was listed as “NO NAME GIVEN.”
In a joint dragnet operation, the Colorado State Patrol and the Wyoming Highway Patrol on Sept. 30 placed 16 drivers and 24 vehicles out of service for a variety of violations of Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration rules. In addition, four arrests were made; Wyoming troopers arrested two commercial vehicle drivers for repeated offenses of driving without a CDL, and one for repeated violations of the ELP rule. Colorado troopers arrested one commercial driver who was subject to a statewide warrant. In addition, one driver received a marijuana citation.
A Texas Representative has introduced a bill that seeks to “end recognition of foreign Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs)” while also taking other actions to tighten CDL standards for non-citizen truck drivers. On October 3, 2025, U.S. Representative Beth Van Duyne (R-TX-24) introduced the Protecting America’s Roads Act.
Oklahoma officials partnered with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for a special enforcement effort at a Port of Entry last week. On September 29, 2025, the Oklahoma Corporation Commission (OCC) announced that a three-day commercial vehicle enforcement effort took place last week at the Beckham County Port of Entry with assistance from ICE and the Oklahoma Department of Public Safety.
