    The “True Understanding of the Economy and Safety Act” was drafted by Reps. Richard Hanna, R-N.Y., Tom Rice, R-S.C., and Mike Michaud, D-Maine. Might be a good time to call your local rep and voice your support.

    Are you saying to support this bill that would do away with the 34 hour restart?

    Been on the news for over 2 years. They are just now looking at it?

    Doubt it will have any influence.

    Maybe not. But now that LaHood is gone and Foxx is new and in the position to make a change, not that he will, but the fact is this:

    I predict nothing will change.


    I do not believe the one there now will stand for any change. She hates truckers worse than LaHood.

    They are looking into going back to the old 34 hour restart provision we had. Which made more sense. I don't care if they still keep it at the 168 hour intervals. That's fine. I don't know who resets every week anyway. But the 1-5??? That's a pain in the ###.
