Finally someone addressing the root of all this stupid laws.
I can not believe that laws and regulations are made by people that never leave a desk….never put the butt on a truck….inwill invite someone from DOT or FMSA to come with me and travel one week….to understand a little bit more of all this regulations
And you forgot to mention something very important and simple Math and common sense.
1994 when I started trucking in 5he USA…a gallon of diesel fuel was in Calif just about 2 to 5 cents over the $1….and many states…under the $1. And we where making about $2.5 to 3 a mile.
Now…with fuel prices way over $4 …
We are getting $1.5 and $2 per Mike.
Totally stupid.
I can talk and talk for hrs about how the industry has change because all this regulations and politic agenda…..horrible..
Good luck America
