    He states that big truck related accidents are up 56% since 2010. How can that be? ;-)

    Bought and paid for by Conagra, JBS/Swift, and Tyson who do not want to pay for detention.

    And he repeated his lie about a 56% increase twice. The facts do not back that up.

    So, I assume you are for the current HOS and ELD mandate as it stands?

    I think there must be a contingency who believe Babin has an ulterior motive? That being he really only wants more flexibility so the big corporate shippers can continue to screw carriers on detention? I don't know for sure.

    Truck related up 56% . what they won't ever say is how many of truck related or the other term they like to use TRUCK INVOLVED is the fault of the 4 wheelers INVOLVED.

    Yeah, the way I interpreted what he meant was that in spite of HOS & ELD's wrecks haven't subsided.
