I absolutely agree that the problem is the hos and 14 hour rule. There is no reason we should be pushing people to race a clock, we are humans not machines. My real problem with the mandate is that the ATA lobbied for it and a couple of other things, like required speed governors and pushing gross weight to 90k. Two of the three was under the guise of safety, but it's so they can monopolize all the freight. The ceo's of the mega carriers can all sit down, make an agreement and push the rest of us independent and small carriers out of business, because we the other 60+% of this industry can not even agree on what color the sky is. The fmcsa estimated that this mandate would cost the industry more than 2.1 billion, the independent and small carriers would bear almost 1.8 billion of that. This mandate has nothing to do with safety and everything to do with ending competition. It's the slow stripping of our rights as drivers pushing towards automanous trucks with large depots outside the city, and company drivers in day cabs pulling last mile to make delivery and pick up.
