If Obama made you truck czar and you could change just one thing about trucking what would it be? (ex. 11hr, 14hr , pay, bennies, ect)

 

Paid for any and all time spent working, including guaranteed detention time after 1hr of your scheduled appointment time in 15min increments.

Nothing I hated worse than sitting for 10-12hrs either in the dock, or waiting to get in the dock because some idiot put the wrong date and/or time and not getting a penny for it.

 

get rid of the 11hr and 14hr rules, mandatory pay for all work done, and dock sitting after 1 hour. oh yeah, none of this per diem, sliding payscale, or super low wages bullcrap.

 

Mandatory black boxes and electronic logs, and tougher standards on getting and keeping a CDL.

 

Tell EPA to go knock the Greenpeace protesters off their Seadoos instead of whine about emissions.

 

Everything above except the black boxes and electronic logs.

I'll add more truck parking. I get a little irritated sometimes when you might need something from a store, you spot one with a huge shoulder on the road, and then you see a no parking sign.

But more importantly, I'd like to mandate a giant bbq grill in every truck stop and rest area offering a host of different bbq foods. Hamburgers, hotdogs, pulled pork, pit beef, whole pigs on a stick, crab cakes etc.

 

Go back to the open public protest period for showing the need to have your authority.

 

don't forget speed limiters too.

 

Bite your tongue!

Don't say that not even joking.

 

why not? the Rev. seems to think more government intervention is better than less.
