When you look at what truckers and trucking firms have to put up with, regulation-wise, I’d only be a truck driver if the only other work I could find involved flipping burgers.

Time to go back to using trains to haul what not enough truck drivers can haul!!

What we do NOT need are a bunch of foreign drivers on our roadways and highways!

Too much power given to aliens in this country to create more problems hauling contraband drugs, humans, etc.!

With the new DOT e-log, a trucker basically must give up his 4th amendment rights while driving. Literally every action the driver takes is data-logged, and made available to cops, insurance, regulators, etc... The latest round of rules implemented this past spring had the effect of reducing available truck capacity by 15% in an already tight market. They are incredible bureaucratic over-reach, all done in the name of "safety" with of course zero evidence.

One can earn $70-80 K flipping burgers in parts of Texas where oil drilling is going on. Truckers earn more.

I don't think Rick Nelson, would rather drive a truck these days.

At least that burger flipper is home every night.
