Tell us more about it!
-
they didn't get into much details. just talked about the 34 suspension and only 2 senators want it back. the csa BS and the crash rating BS. and how that driver in cincinatti is being CSA punished over that bridge that fell on him as he was just driving down the highway. and how he's a bad risk for future crashes now.
stupid bs.scottied67 Thanks this. -
FMCSA says it's too much trouble to determine fault in crashes that's why they put a point on the driver and carrier as a crash risk. I forget who asked Foxx about it or was it Darling, but they asked them if they really didn't know whether the driver was at fault or not when a bridge fell on his truck lol. It's in this weeks truck paper you can pick up at the TA/Petro or Jubitz.

Their missing suspect of crashes are four wheelers. They cut in front of truck not giving some space, Middle fingers, and brake testing on trucks.

Well that guy in Cincinatti is in way better shape than the Canadian trucker that knock the Skagnit Bridge in Washington State and now the State of Washington is suing all involved with that load for 17 million dollars!

Can we expect anything sensible come out of the mouths of any of these clowns, except their own brand of arrogance. The FMCSA has been a total waste of time and money.
And as we all know. It has had zero effect on the accident rates or anything to do with safety.
But whenever ANY Govt agency gets involved in solving a problem, they in turn manage to screw it up and/or make it worse.scottied67 Thanks this. -
There's more online in a search using key words like FMCSA Reform . FMSCA Reform pulls up some different related articles.

Are there people within this industry that offer a counterpoint voice for you guys and gals? I'm not familiar with some aspects of this industry, however, I have to believe someone, somewhere offers a voice of reason and common sense to those who continue to strangle hold this industry. And, I'm not talking about unions, I'm simply talking about people who speak for you O/O's and small carrier businesses.
For a industry that is beyond important for the very survival of this country, it floors me to no end how quick it's S&!t on by politicians and other big wigs who try with all their might to destroy the fabric it's made of, not to mention the fact of truckers that try to ruin it from the inside out.
The dysfunction of the whole system is pathetic.
