If you could change one thing in the trucking industry.....what would it be??

Unlimited driving hours. :P :? :lol: :P

I would change the way we log. It would be a 2 line book you are either on duty or off duty. You would have a 14 hour on duty time with a 800 mile limit per day. I think if you are a truck driver you know when you need to stop and when you can drive. But I would have the 14 hour limit just in case their are to many super truckers out there that want to push to hard

I would make it a law requiring trucking companies to pay for all hours worked. If you work 14 hours a day you would get paid for 14. Time and a half after forty.

This post and jackrabbit wanting unlimited driving hours.

What is it with so many drivers wanting to work for nothing. Figure a guy making 20 bucks an hour and working 70 hrs with time and a half over forty that equals 1700.00 a week.

Plus trucking is the only industry where it is required that an employee travels and is not given a food allowance in ADDITION to salary.


so what do I want .....pay that is truly reflective of what the job requires.

I would make it mandatory for everyone to wear company uniforms! I would not let any of the slobs I see these days work as a trucker. Also have it that anyone that parks on the fuel island and goes in to the truckstop for 30-45 minutes tying up everything should be allowed to be shot and killed upon exiting the truckstop.
