Truck-only lanes have cons, OOIDA official says Truck-only lanes have cons, OOIDA official says 7/23/07 Quote: Lanes specifically reserved for trucks, while proposed by the U.S. DOT to separate tractor-trailers from four-wheeled traffic, might not be all they’re cracked up to be, an OOIDA representative said this week. The U.S. Department of Transportation is promoting numerous congestion-relief programs, including Federal Highways Administration grants for states to add capacity to existing roads through high-occupancy lanes or truck-only lanes. But Rod Nofziger, director of government affairs with the Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association, warned that truck-only lanes may cause new problems in addition to ones they appear to solve. “We are none too keen upon them for a couple of different reasons,” Nofziger told Land Line. “Quite often, you’re going to continue the process of truckers shouldering more than their share of the burden for constructing and maintaining not only those roads, but other roadways that run adjacent to them.” landline article continues __________________ The Truckers Report Merchandise

And this surprises who!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The trucking industry has been shouldering the expense for upkeep of the national highway system since it was formed.Whats going to change,now it will be for roads that we will not be allowed to run on.

I feel so sorry for those who are "stuck" driving a truck anymore. God help you all is all I can say. You have no hope with the rampant apathy and the uselessness of OOIDA and the rest anymore.
