I know FedX CC made all of the drivers put them in their trucks a little over a year ago. You would think that rather than rolling over, groups that are supposed to stand up for the American trucker would be fighting for an increase in pay and detention pay for drivers before this was made law. As of now,i have yet to see anyone propose this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
