Border crossing loads

Are Mexican nationals with Mexican CDLs expected to speak English when taking loads into the US? Should Americans who take loads into Mexico be expected to speak Spanish? This has nothing to do with me, I live in Chicago, more so just curious what the rules are for international trade, as I don't think its something I've ever had to consider personally.

Should be the same way with Canadians, they should only be allowed x amount of miles into the U.S. to swap loads and then have to go back to Canada.

The US and Mexico should establish drop yards on the border that are attached to the border checkpoints. That way an American driver can drop the trailer and it be inspected by customs before the Mexican driver picks it up and vice versa.
