And not a single word about the regulations that caused the shipping companies to sell off their trucks - that cause so many of the drivers to just give up with jobs at the ports - that caused the railroads to cut down the number of trains.

Nope, nope. Pay no attention to the economy destroying regulations... That’s too hard for the general public to understand.

The sell off came on the heels of the American Trucker Association mimicking the California Trucking Association demand that the owners of the chassis be held responsible for any accident involving the chassis, even though it was demonstrated that the chassis caused the accident in less than .05% of the time. Drugs and Alcohol were the major causation for the short haul truckers. That and the pay of $35.00 per flip, or round trip. The truckers pushing to make more than three flips a day. No maintenance on their trucks, etc, etc, etc.

Oh come on, once they move to zero emission trucks running on a catenary system the problem will be solved.
