That's the problem with regulations like this, there is no real recourse for a driver. We have all had those days or weeks out here where nothing goes right, I know I have. And when I had drivers, jeez, when it rained, it poured. Talk about pulling one's hair out!

But what get's me about all of this is the fact that it's safer on the roads now a days in regards to cars and trucks than it ever has been. To suddenly throw these new regs into an industry that has made huge strides in safety is just wrong at the present time. This industry is hanging on by a thread economically, and this is just the wrong thing to do at the absolute worst time.

I swear that this government is doing all of this on purpose. Because no one is this stupid.

 

Well i think the industry is doing ok, there extra capacity driving down freight rates...so if some bad apples get weeded out that should reduce capacity and raise rates. then o/os will have better chances at being competitive. So yes its bad for individual drivers that get kicked to the curb and bad for the economy with the reduced spending due to those layoffs but rates and pay has a potential to go up provided that carriers are not 'importing' drivers to work for cheap and continue to hold down wages...
