Hey pol...

Hey pol, how does it feel knowing that 186 House Republicans helped pass a bill that was written and sponsored by a Republican (John Mica - FL), that will create mass inflation as well as hurt our economy bigly?

I present to you, the “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act”, which takes effect December 18th, 2017. This bill will destroy the trucking industry, which carries roughly 60-70% of all goods produced in the U.S.. It also infringes on our 5th amendment right by automatically having your small crime reported to authorities.

Sadly, despite knowing about the implications, Trump has not done anything to stop or slow he implementation of this bill.

Less traffic. More buy local.

I see not problem with this.

sounds good, that's what we pay them for

Does this apply positive or negative growth pressure to the population of brown people in the United States

how is developing national standards for toll systems and a national standard for how freight is handled going to destroy the trucking industry?

Can you actually just explain what it does instead of some snarky commentary you big fucking faggot?

As a professional in the Trucking industry I will give a very real example.

We have a lane that runs between two states. The drivers that run this particular lane live in the trucks during the week. These guys are capable of doing 4-5 rounds between the states. They choose to be away from their families in line in a truck because the pay is good. After this law takes effect, the drivers will only be able to do 2 rounds. These guys only do this job because the wages are actually not that bad, now they will be cut in half.

We will also have to charge the mills that produce the goods we carry nearly double the rates, this cost will be shared with every part of the production process until the final product is produced. The consumer will pay a heavily increased price.

The increase will happen to groceries, gas...... everything.

Trucking will no longer be a viable job for many. Truckers will quit their careers for seek other avenues for income. This will create job shortages and will mean that there will be an increase in inexperienced truck drivers sharing the roads with us.


Our economy will take a large hit within the next year, I assume within the next couple months.

Be prepared anoms.

I'm glad my fellow countrymen are ok with the industry with which I support my family is going under. Thanks faggots.

See this

Please excuse my autocorrect fucking up my sentences.

What's your opinion on driverless trucks? Is it a real threat or a meme?

Wait, is this because the electronic logging is going to force everyone to comply with the existing law on hours of service? Are your truckers getting four or five runs in because they’ve been breaking the law and driving for ungodly stretches of time instead of 10 on after 8 off or 11 on after 10 off?

If a driver is held up at a mill for 4 hours it will count against him even if he’s resting.

If a driver is 20 minutes from the destination, he won’t be able to squeeze another 20 minutes. This puts the load and driver behind 8-14 hours, maybe more.

Etc etc etc.

It's okay, Jeff Bezos will not allow for this.

Thankfully automated freight hauling will solve those problems by eliminating the frailties of human drivers.

>Thankfully automated freight hauling will solve those problems by eliminating the frailties of human drivers.

aaannnd suddenly you've got 3 million unemployed truckers

Sounds Bipartisan. I thought that was a magic word for libtards. “Destroys the trucking industry”? Good, no trucks, no food in cities, city retards starve. Win/win.

I can't wait to start hijacking cargo from self-driving vehicles.

It could not be more obvious.

Socialist

google's self driving cars can go an average of 800 miles without intervention or failure atm

this is what you are crying about ... what are you going to do when the trucks drive them selves. UBI will be a thing by then but still you are whining because they wanna make the roads safer so you dont over work and oo i dont know accidentally kill some one cause u closed your eyes for 1 sec cause its your 4th run of the day.

...

What was that OP? I'm to busy posting LE EBIC TRUMP MAYMAYS to care!

>I'm glad my fellow countrymen are ok with the industry with which I support my family is going under.

This board fucking sucks.

Obama bill
>n2 le trash it goes

Who gains from this law?

Sure does, I'm in transportation too and they will continue to bitch, moan, and cry while the goyim fucks their mom and blame others for their problems

>HURRR THE FREE MARKET IS THE WAY TO GO DURRR
>HURRR A MORE EFFICIENT WAY OF DOING THINGS CAME ALONG AND IT'S PUTTING ME OUT OF BUSINESS HELP ME GOBERNMENT

Just like all those Texas fags that were crying when the price of oil dropped.

And again, you want a free market this is what happens.

So? Who gives a shit about people who poorly chose?

have you read up on the history of the horseshoe

You didn't read any of the links you posted did you?

You system sucks then. I've helped build a system and we made it able to tell when a driver is in line at the mill to not count it against him. In any case, the issue is with the laws on hours, not on establishing a sane system of tolls instead of the mess there is now. Instead of whining about this law, whine about the source of the problem, dumbass.

Truckers lie about their logs constantly I wouldn't worry shills are out in full force today
