Imagine how many more loads that won't be delivered on time due to all the added time lost from sitting in an endless line of slow moving trucks. There wil be lots of empty shelves. Rail will probably be faster at that point.

People are going to poke holes in these arguments. Look at the last part of the petition, it disagrees with the laws of physics. People who understand fuel economy know that after a certain point, speed is a detriment to MPG. For people that don't know, it's a Google search away. Even on these forums, most people agree that slowing down saves fuel, but they will make more by driving faster than they save by slowing down. But the argument is about fuel economy, not revenue. Claiming the environmentalists are wrong about fuel economy is false. If he wanted to phrase the argument of cost savings vs environmental impact, people could decide on those merits. But misinformation is not really helping his cause, especially if the idea is to get people outside of the echo chamber to agree with him.Sirscrapntruckalot and bryan21384 Thank this. -

I keep it around 68 most of the time but we don't need anymore govt oversight, nothing good ever comes of it. Plus when I'm heading east into jersey in the am and feel like rolling 75 with rush hour traffic I'm gonna do just that.
