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.
Republicans want dead Americans.
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.
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.
What are we going to fuel these trucks with though
That sounds safe.
Meth inks it will be a very stimulating trip on the interstates.
Solves medical debt by closing hospitals.
Sacrifices (your safety and truckers) must be made in the name of November elections and profits.
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.
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.
Not surprising, apparently no one in the USA gives a damn about traffic safety.
Deregulation because money.
I’m sure Tracy Morgan has an opinion on this decision
The last 2 links I’ve clicked on I’ve learned that Grizz died and Tracy almost died. Someone tell me Dotcom is doing okay
I read the articles at the time but they didn’t tell me Grizz died, why did you do this to me?
Now I’m sad that he’s dead and that the articles at the time didn’t think he was worth mentioning over a REAL celebrity.
He wasn’t in that crash. Apparently he died a few months ago from kidney disease. A truck crashed into his home in 2024 though, but he wasn’t home.
This does make me feel better, but now I choose to believe he was in a Final Destination plotline.
A very rich man hundreds or thousands of miles away accepts the risks to other peoples lives as a great deal.
