    Everybody cries and preaches to the choir here but when given a chance to justify your complaints you don't bother .
    Here are the results of the recent request for comments .

    If you can't be bothered to give reason to not have EOBR's don't come whining about them here . This is a good example why talks about drivers organizing to be effective is a joke .
    FMCSA is collecting more comments . I guess you all will ignore it supporting ATA and carriers' claim that harassment and invasion are not issues . If they were thousands of drivers would be posting negative comments .

    Perhaps it's time they start recognizing trucker's forums and stop by and give us a heads up. It's not so much a matter of participation but more of knowing it exists.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    it comes down to the new breed LIKEING there hands held and being told when they can and can't drive. and running against the clock.

    i understand the old timers who drove till there eyes popped out. but i really prefer doing my job MY way. you all can argue all you want. but i don't see how the clock does a DARN thing for safety.

    OOIDA members brag about how effective OOIDA is . This is a kind of thing OOIDA should be sending out a Call To Action on and Overdrive magazine should be posting in their magazine . I quit reading Overdrive months ago when they kept promoting UShip and featuring articles on "Shipping Wars " .

    I'm not buying those numbers, after all this is our government that's posting those numbers.

    And not giving us much time to comment.


    not to mention....

    Sorry can't comment I'm still on paper. All I can give the FMCSA is comments from other drivers and that'd do more harm than good because it didn't come straight from the horses mouth.

    I posted mine. ooida should have filed long ago on constitutional grounds harassment is just an added reason.
    I vote that lahood's head be removed and a search for his brain be started and then on to ferro. real turds on a punch bowl and don't forget the non driver they appointed to that board recently. Empty shelves would do more that any posted comments will.
