Oh look - my favorite fraud!Shit .... they can't handle what's on the road today. Thursday, someone put a case of dumb in their coffee, for instance and I had 2 people try to kill themselves against my bus on my morning run alone.
IIRC, there is one group this bill COULD help outside of the big companies moving more freight and having fewer drivers, owner operators. They can increase their rates and get higher profit (in theory) per load and help them keep running. BUT... as I just learned, their insurance rates and personal danger would shoot way way WAY up. So I don't know who's really the driving force.
Doing this on local roads is very concerning indeed.
Another reason owner/operators don't like it is they wouldn't be competitive without the expensive to install 6th axel.
Regardless, the STATES should decide what is safe, fair, or whatever, within their borders: Not the Feds.
not true. i'd direct you to the cases dealing with the interstate commerce. this one deals with mud flaps, specifically.
