We all need to have safe truck drivers. At give the truck drivers overtime pay if some leeway 8s allowed in the hours of service
I live in a tent encampment so it won’t make any difference to me.

I move non-slaughter bound horses between CA/US and getting to safe areas to stop and unload/clean can be very challenging.

Otherwise it 8s just a way to get around the rules . Safety experts and health care workers and The O O I DA and nonprofit Huron Easyshare are pushing for this bi partisan bill to get passed and the same in Canada and Mexico
