Regulations that will result in more traffic to move the same tonnage, less qualified and trained drivers to haul it, and fewer drivers in aggregate … make no formula for safety improvement. They will do nothing but increase crashes and fatalities and totally eradicate all the improvements we have accomplished by trying to improve the industry. Improving conditions, pay, rewards, trust and attitudes toward drivers begins with the companies being able to afford improvements.
