What Would You Change?

Everything

 

Thicker and longer than Tolstoy's War and Peace.

Well over 1,200 pages.

 

As of 2014, Mexican Nationals can now haul and pickup freight in the United States. You can kill that for starters.

Pending legislation that would limit all truck speeds to 65 mph. You can kill that if it passes.

Hair drug testing is being discussed. That is just a "money grab" and a tax on the trucking industry. If that passes, you can kill that.

I am sure I will think of some more stuff later.

 

Lot's of stuff need to changes, but one thing that i would like to see is dispatchs and load planners do a better job.

If things were plan the right way most of the drivers would not have to be away from home weeks at a time to make a living, if they plan and do whatever they can to maximize drivers time versus milleage everybody would win from this!

Of course money could be better management & dispacth & planners have to understand that the time away from our loves ones has a price!

 

Mandatory pay for on duty. Fueling shld be paid for too.
Mandatory pay for >1 hr waiting @shippers + receivers.
Eliminate resets.
Make tucking companies do a better job maintaining trailers.
More rest areas with truck parking in the ne

 

I'd like to feel some freedom.. I understand the need for vehical inspections weights securement hazmat but let us work as long or as little as we think without the hos hassles..

 

There are trucking publications? We don't need no steeking writing on the bathroom walls.

 

The old saying "You can't fix stupid" applies here.
