If you have any MAGA in your circle, be sure to pass this along to them, so they understand.
What’s left unsaid here, is when they change the law, the drivers have no choice but to comply. If they refuse to drive 16 hours, some other driver will, and the one who refuses loses the job. The truck driver has bills and the lease on his truck to pay, like everyone else. The people who hire them are in the same boat. If they don’t demand that their drivers drive 16 hours, then the next shipping company that does will take the job.
And, so it goes up the chain, the rich get richer and the poor get fucked. Make sure MAGA gets that they are among the poor, just like the rest of us. And, they’ll get fucked next.
Republicans want dead Americans.
This is crazy where i live its 9 hours manditory rest of 45 min after 4,5 hours maximum of 56 per week maximum 90 per 2 weeks. And manditory rest of 11 hours between shifts, we are still well suplied there is zero need for 14 hour shifts 12 is already crazy.
Remember the time when railroaders went on strike because they wanted to be treated like pigs?
Because pigs were treated better than railroaders. Pigs were valuable freight and deserved a long rest after being on a train for 12 hours. No similar regulation existed for the people who ran a train…
This will totally fix the diesel price problem. This country is more cooked than the planet itself.
That sounds safe.
Meth inks it will be a very stimulating trip on the interstates.
Need to have a little something left over for the lot lizards.
I was curious and looked up what you can drive in the UK/EU. It’s 9 hours. Twice a week you can push it to 10.
They’ve just doomed every person in a car on every major interstate.
No worries, we can just fly everywhere. Wait, what’s that, they just put AI in charge of air traffic control? Okay, yeah, we’re doomed.
Well, it’s one way to boost sales on the gas-guzzling, rolling tanks the US auto makers refuse to diversify away from.
Ah yes, because we know Precision Scheduled Railroading with the freight train industry has worked so well, let’s legislate the means by which we can employ less of the already overworked staff under the guise of optimization, when in reality it’s yet another way to funnel even more money towards the top.
Solves medical debt by closing hospitals.
Just that? I am sure true republicans can afford to do much more for the country, why not 24, or double that, 48! Hail Trump!
He truly is a genius.
What are we going to fuel these trucks with though
METH and coke.
Truck stop meth.
Sorry, I thought you asked about the drivers.
Sacrifices (your safety and truckers) must be made in the name of November elections and profits.
Not surprising, apparently no one in the USA gives a damn about traffic safety.
Deregulation because money.
A very rich man hundreds or thousands of miles away accepts the risks to other peoples lives as a great deal.
