If you could change
 
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. :mad:

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.
