    Private carriers often have the best drivers since they actually pay decent and vet their drivers they hire.

    Its the megas and other 3pls that have crap drivers

    Thats a ludicrous idea. Worse than allowing companies to put cameras on drivers. All companies would wield this power to get their drivers to work for free or have their license pulled.

    This exactly. I understand the idea and honestly if there was a way to absolutely 100% guarantee it was never ever misused then sure. It would be a thing. But.. unfortunately there's no such thing. You might just want that power and have the best intentions but quite a few would wield it in quite a different way.

    Either way. It's unnecessary. There are already agencies whose job it is to do precisely what you speak of.

    Are you taking any psychotropic medication? If not, you might consider starting.

    I am quite bewildered by both your question and answer. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever.

    I have never taken medications for anything. I don't even take over the counter medicines or remedies.

    I have never smoked or taken drugs. What little drinking of alcoholic beverages that I did, I gave up many years ago.

    To the best of my ability, I try very hard to live a clean life, avoiding trouble whenever possible, (even though life can throw a lot of curves).

    For health reasons, I have also cleaned up my diet a lot, TRYING to avoid sugars, salts, high fructose corn syrups, fried foods, cakes, pastries, chocolates, various oils and greases, along with sodium nitrites and sodium nitrates, (which is found in a lot of processed meats as hot dogs, sausages, bologna, pepperoni, salami, etc.).

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    Are you yourself taking any medications? I do hope that both you and your family are all well, in every which way possible, (especially health wise).
