Let's review.
HOS regulations requiring 10 hours off, 34 hour reset, 14 hours window. etc starting in 2003, with minor changes.
20 years worth of data available to determine if it had the claimed safety benefits.
ELD's required starting in 2017,
5 years worth of data to determine if it had the claimed safety benefits.
Speed limiters in Ontario-Quebec at least
10 years worth of data to determine if it has had the claimed safety benefits.
Has anyone done a serious study on any or all of them? No.
Do you see a pattern? I do. -

That ain't right.
I am not into bashing whole countries because of the idiocy of some.
Nor I am a part of your lump of Americans, but since I am to you, well ..... later. -
2 feet of extra tractor frame isn’t gonna hurt any kangaroos….. -
It is more about Government control. It is actually interesting looking at the common trucks in New Zealand, they have very different combinations to ours due the difference in road conditionsLast Call Thanks this. -
