So YRC spends 25 million per month in fuel, and 25 million per year in tolls??
"For trucks, predictability of shipments would be greatly enhanced, with the potential for drafting and platooning, not to mention the safety of separating the cars and the trucks," Pence said.
If you force trucks into certain lanes it will be the slowest truck deciding the time it takes to get there.
And 'the potential for drafting and platooning' is a very dangerous concept.
My Qualcom glitches all the time. All it takes is losing a signal for a small amount of time, and the thing has no idea of where it is at.

Would definitely bankrupt more companies
FlaSwampRat, jon69 and D.Tibbitt Thank this. -
it'll be costly to buy up what land IS available.
it'll just be better to TOLL everyone, rather than ONE segment of road users.FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
First of all....the ATA represents megas and always has their intrests in hand. I'm sorry if your trucks pay that much in tolls. Sucks to be you. There are alternatives.
Second...if you think for one minute that you're gonna get tax money away from lawmakers, you're delusional.tscottme Thanks this. -
Just wait until tmc gets in front of u or prime or raider express! What a #### show that would be. Its bad enough when we have cities that have no trucks left lane or left 2 lanes. And its alot of truck traffic. Take i35 from say dallas to san antonio for example. That has to be one of the biggest cluster ####s in the country. I dont think these governement people really know what they are talking about, but that is yesterdays news
NavigatorWife, FlaSwampRat and buddyd157 Thank this. -
It won't take more than 1-200 years and cost more than WWII.
FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -
