    There goes the few decent jobs with small to mid-sized carriers. Insurance is killing the smaller carriers and O/Os already! Methinks I smell the stench of the ATA all over this one.

    You do not have to be and O/O or a business owner, if trucking cost go up in any way it gets passed to the end user. All that passing catches up, just look at how expensive things are and how cheaply they are made. The bill was originally introduced by a senator, I'll have to research to remember the name, who's is an attorney and who's family's practice specializes in accidents (shocker). This has nothing to do with safety or looking out for the motoring public. It has everything to do with money and only money.

    I suspect its Senator Bob Casey. He's the only PA Senator who's also a lawyer (the other one is a banker).

    Just left my reply. It is a shame that these lawmakers keep making these laws just to continue to drain the money from this industry. If they want to make laws, make some that help us and protect us as drivers because it seems that every corner you turn now the O/O's and drivers are being screwed with something. Just my thoughts!!
