    They always have to come up with some kind of ridiculous ideas otherwise they'd be out of a job.

    If they keep it up, soon even the completely unemployable will not choose to become truck drivers! Used to be some darned good drivers who couldn't read and write, they got rid of them guys years ago. Now they are targeting people with handicaps? A close friend of mine lost an eye when we were kids, he is one of the best drivers I know!
     
    double yellow and pattyj Thank this.

    Just another example of a bunch of POS trying to justify their miserable existence without a clue of what they are doing or what the real world is like. Perfect example is speed limiters, if I am not allowed to drive the speed limit that is a reduction in my earning ability, are they going to compensate me, ya good luck with that.

    Makes me not want to try to be anything more than a company driver. And that is probably what they want.

    If these new BS regs go into effect I fear they will apply to ALL trucks, company and O/O.

    Keep in mind also that most of these changes along with CARB and all the others are backed by the large carriers. It's just another way to put as many people out of business as possible and grab more of the market share.
     
    Rocks, Joetro, drvrtech77 and 3 others Thank this.

    It's going to be DISASTREOUS... it will cause gridlock, a lot of road rage and even more accidents... Folks in this industry need to speak up against this... even though they believe the government will ignore them...
