You aint gonna believe this... Yet Another Ic Choice thread move over DFO!

Most of these rules and regs come from the ATA aka schneider. The mega's grief for O/O and small fleets. ATA is and alliance of the big carriers which make up about 25% of all trucking. Talking about the tail wagging the dog.

 

Well, soon enough cars will also have speed limiters put on them, at least the rumor is circulating. Even seen a story that eventually gps technology will be used to determine where you are located and the speed limit on that road. Cars will then be governed to whatever the speed limit is. Kind of coincides with all of the self driving vehicle talk that is going on. Soon enough we won't have the ability to drive ourselves if these totalitarian dictator types get their way, ata or no ata.

 

Wow. That driver is a hero.

 

Please all you guys will just roll over and take it like a champ look at the elogs you all preach how great they are,cameras looking at you,you try to tell me oh its not bad you get used to it,same with speed limiters you'll tell me it really saves fuel.trucking used to be about freedom but everybody caved.People have turned into a bunch of wussies who are afraid to stand up for what they believe in.Me ill fight for what i believe i can go to pretty much any company i want including schneiders ic which i turned down because they pretty much are the ata which is trying to put small companies out of business so all just keep driving local with no logs no governor yes i could make more money elsewhere but im not selling my soul and if i have too ill walk away from driving heck yard jockeys around here are paying 17-20 dollars an hour maybe ill do that if forced to walk away.

 

They threw it out because it was a violation of rights..and something else i will have to ask my
pops
