Chao never did this!.
Thank you, Lola, for the ride and the tour of your truck. America depends on truck drivers like you every day, and @USDOT is working to make sure you are supported in this essential career.

@SecretaryPete The reason the shelves are stocked and the nation has not suffered is from the hard work of the nation's truckers, Mr Secretary. @OOIDA @Todd2Spencer @Lewie_Pugh.

People who are NOT truckers should not be making job classifications, job decisions, etc about trucking. People who do not know ALL the available truck driving jobs, should not either. If you want to know, ask. I will be more than happy to discuss it. But by all means, ask. TY.

@arestaurant_guy Actually, they do have supervisors. Along with probably a county department head, as well as a state department, and head. You can also check for your local commissioner office. I'd put something out to all of them, ASAP.

@TRUCKINGdotORG This is not independence. 49 CFR 376.12, along with company policy, authority, rules, insurance and cannot work for other companies? That is not independence, sorry it's not.

I think I'm starting to understand how this Pro Act passed, and why no truckers really stood against it, nor anyone else. It appears that folks barely gave it any consideration, beyond a glance and it sounds good. FCS people, this is your livelihoods at stake here.

@peteniles Nope. He's already behind the ball with payments like that. Plus insurance, plus gas, plus maintenance and repairs. Tell him you will give him the 08, and he can start by paying the insurance, and everything else. He has to prove himself first.

I hear & see you truckers keep talking about a plan. Well make one, stick to it. Nationwide. I cannot even get a thousand truckers to pick up the phone & call your senators. You all talking about a plan? Come on. Get serious! .This is your livelihoods on the line here folks.

Truckers set your daily speeds 5 to 10 miles under the posted speed limit. Let's show the FMCSA what will happen, what their desired regulatory move will cause. We can do this! Two weeks to a month? What say you?.

@TruckinEh Coercion. Misclassification. Truckers NOT being paid for loads hauled by fraudulent brokers. Brokers who double, triple, and co broker loads. Folks who represent themselves as advocates, who are in it for their own personal agenda!.

A young trucker has shown up at TQL headquarters, in person this morning to speak to him about them not paying him. They owe him over 8 grand. He drove his truck and trailer right to their front door. Now how much more do you people need to understand trucker's are NOT being paid.

Today's FMCSA hearing, proves, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that those with little to no experience have no earthly idea how the trucking industry works. The main purpose in requesting the hours of service change, is to allow drivers to rest when they need it. Not 2 extend the day.

The proposal to increase insurance premiums for the trucker's will not make anything safer. Premiums increase every single year all across the nation, yet we are continuing to see increased accidents and fatalities. Your solution is not addressing the causations! Address that!.

Looked at the boards, booked a load. Got an immediate welcome back and thanks for working with us. They know I pick up and deliver, responsible and take care of my authority properly. I do not do load counts, nor any other laughable shit. No need for it. I still help folks too.

@TimRyan 1st, it's contradictory in nature. Prong C states, similar in nature. Whereas prong B states, must not be same work. 2nd it declares war on legitimate contract workers. Truckers who are lease purchase, and otherwise work along with one company. That's Biz2Biz.

Covid supply shortages will be nothing to reclassification of lease truckers. Think this was hard? All states, not just Cali. Who needs a trucker strike, when you have the democrats and unions forcing reclassification of trucking jobs. #hereitcomes #youvebeenwarned.

Many truckers are JOKING about the Pro Act. Many think it will not pass. So here is my question. What happens if Biden EO's it? What? He surely is committed strongly to make this happen. I am very concerned for many of my trucking friends who are leased or running for cmpnys.

The department of labor, does not have the authority to tell anyone how to run their business. Read that again, until you get it.

Folks comparing trucking business models to model X, don't know the business. Chamber of commerce wouldn't allow us to be in business, if it wasn't viable. How we choose to run and operate, within safety regulations and compliance, is our choice. I have lots of freedoms.

Isn't it funny how all these so-called safety people know what's best for us? I'm so sick of this nonsense I want to throw up. Try this on 4 size, if you don't do the job every single day like many of us do including myself, then kindly remove your expert status immediately!.
Safety groups say @FMCSA changes to #HoursOfService would exacerbate threat of fatigue among drivers. By @SchremLandLine .

So, under this Pro Act, I become a union member, if I want to r not. From that point on, they represent me. So this leads me to a question. What happens to all the business lawyers, business law schools, and everything involved with business law, as it pertains to me and others?.

It's about time that the Secretary of Transportation state what @SecretaryPete has stated here. Chao did not, and neither did anyone before that time. It is a safety issue, most assuredly. It is also a supply chain efficiency issue as well. The states need to get to work!.
Lack of truck parking isn't something most Americans think about often, but its a major safety and quality of life issue for truck drivers along our highways.

Washington votes to up commercial truck insurance by 125%, unjustifiable. Smells like small trucking company destruction at the hands of the T&I committee. Smells like ATA, Unions, and friends. Whose going to fight against this? @OOIDA , @Todd2Spencer @TheSBTC @NASTCTWEETS.

Since apparently I'm still not getting through to some folks, let's try this another way. A regular work week is 40 hours. A trucker work week is 8 days. And 70 hours. Even more if you are considered exempt status. And yet somehow drivers struggle? The issue is the pay.

1)More misinformation, & bad directions about this Pro Act. Please do your research on this. Wage theft is one thing. Forcing unions on what is free market labor is not a good thing. Forcing business owners to become union members is not a good thing. Force? NO!! CA fallout now!!.

Yard Jockey at Frito Lay Crest Hill, IL. Told me to move, I was in the way. I didn't know anywhere to go. So the he gets mad, after I told him to hang on a second, let me start my truck and I would move. I had to back up, so that he wouldn't hit me.

Please folks, if you're not a carrier, never been a carrier, please refrain from making statements as to whether or not a carrier would make a decision to haul or not. This includes leased on trucks. You're leased. Just being honest.

Pro Act truth. Prong C contradicts prong B. You cannot have a law that contradicts itself. Therefore the ABC test part of the Pro Act is null and void. The ABC test is useless!.
