    Only for a few weeks. House republicans recommend trashing it, which means the House cause they are majority, he will kill it.

    The governor of Montana just suspended HoS regulations for 30 days for all propane, heating & fuel oil trucks.
    Drive all you want.

    No... only 35 House Republicans recommend trashing it. Out of 535 total Congressmen from both houses of Congress. And then they would have to pass a bill in both houses rescinding that portion of the previous MAP-21 legislation, then DT can sign it and change this stuff. Looks like a nice long wait is in order.

    I think you will find everyone's oars in the water pulling the ship in the same direction in the near future.

    How often in 230 years (since 1787 when the Constitution came into being) has "everyone's oars" been in the water? Please, roll me one of whatever you are smoking.

    Nothing will kill these regulations faster than operating according to them by the letter.
    Do this for a month or so and companies will be scramblimg to get their legislator's to do something to break up the gridlock.

    At least twice.

    World War Two after Japan bombed the place and World War one once Civilian Liners started to get sunk.

    You can rest easy that in the third war we will need a Congress after everything is rubble.

    Yeah, pretty rare. Even during the WW events, there were still a few congressmen that dissented from going to war. The point being, that getting the next Congress session all working in the same direction is not very likely to happen on the topic at hand. It is going to be the same partisan bickering that we have seen for decades. Heck, the Republicans have controlled both houses of Congress for the last two years and we have gotten all this ELD and Limiter stuff coming at us. And they never put a dent in Obummercare like they promised on the campaign trails for the previous two elections. And some think they will do something about ELD's and Speed Limiters now? Must be nice to live in a euphoric state of mind.

    Well with elogs limiting miles ,
    ...OTR operations will have to pay drivers be the hr , I think this would also make our highways safer and drivers will be paid for everything they do , even while burning hrs at a shipper, or traffic delays and such
    .... What do you guys think?
