I AM TOTALLY AGAINST FEDERAL OR STATE INTRUSION INTO MY LIFE. THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY"S SAFETY RECORD CONTINUALLY IMPROVES YEAR AFTER YEAR. I CANNOT AFFORD TO PURCHASE ONBOARD RECORDERS FIRST OF ALL. ITS ALL I CAN DO TO FUEL MY TRUCKS. THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS DONE NOTHING TO ADDRESS THIS COUNTRYS ENERGY PROBLEM FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS INSTEAD, IT WASTES ITS TIME ON STUPID PROPOSALS SUCH AS ONBOARD RECORDERS HOPING THAT IT WILL PLEASE CERTAIN GROUPS THAT HAVE NO BUSINESS STICKING THEIR NOSE INTO SOMETHING THEY HAVE ZERO EXPERIENCE WITH. WHAT ABOUT DETENTION TIME? COUNTLESS FATIGUE RELATED HOURS WAITING FOR SHIPPERS AND CUSTOMERS TO LOAD OR UNLOAD. TOO MANY LOBYISTS TO FIGHT TO IMPLEMENT RULES REGARDING THIS ISSUE EVEN THOUGH ITS MORE CRITICAL TO ADDRESS THAN ONBOARD RECORDERS? GOD FORBID WE DO ANYTHING TO TRULY IMPROVE TRUCK DRIVERS JOB. IF WE WERE TO GO WITH ONBOARD RECORDERS, ARE THE STATES GOING TO CLOSE DOWN INSPECTION STATIONS BECAUSE THEY WILL NO LONGER BE NEEDED SINCE THE ONBOARD RECORDER IS GOING TO FIX EVERYTHING?AFTER 30 ACCIDENT FREE YEARS OF DRIVING I HAD ENOUGH OF THE HARRASSMENT AND QUIT DRIVING. DRIVING ACTUALLY USED TO BE SOMEWHAT FUN. ITS ANYTHING BUT NOW.IM TIRED OF BEING TREATED LIKE A CRIMINAL.
