ATA accuses DOT of inflating fatigue-crash risk

What's to say-of course they are. Ever see a government agency not play with the numbers if it suited their purposes?

 

They have to do something to look "good" to the public. so blame it on a trucker!!!!

 

Of course the ATA contest a driver working less hours. God forbid a company paying us right for a normal work day.

A human is not meant to work over 8 hours a day in and day out. Cost analysis says it's okay for people to die. The ones that live get things cheaper and make more money.

 

Another think I heard about those numbers in the past is that they are only saying that fatigue may have had a part in the crash.
It does not specify if it is the truck driver or the 4-wheeler that was tired.
And any log violation will show up as possible fatigue in those numbers as well, including form and manner violations.

 

I've said before but it bears repeating :

Figures don't lie,But liars can figure!!!
