    Speed limiters, e-logs, etc are the goal of the ATA. The whole Knight/Swift bundle is only a small part of that group. And all of the truck that run for the ATA member companies put together don't make up even 10% of the trucks on the highway.
     
    Space Truckin, Long FLD and Chinatown Thank this.

    Yeah, The ATA. Make no mistake, 10% will rule the 90%.
    Money talks, and BS walks.

    This won’t have any effect on the lobbying power of the ATA since every company involved in the buyout are already members and already throw their money around.

    I dunno, nowadays it seems to involve being a greedy psychopath and that's just not my speed, man.
