The Feds eff things up and the STATES have to FIX them!
That's not at all fair. Half the mess is being caused by California's regulations.
I just meant, ‘in general.’ I know CA is a BIG part of THIS particular problem.
Love DeSantis! He has brains and balls!
Sigh. My state isn’t part of it.
“Would accomplish much more by simply squashing the burdensome regs already in existence.”
First off, if you are going to require those damned E-logs build some flexibility into the Hours of Service rules. The HoS regs implemented by the Obama tyranny did away with split sleeper berths and forced drivers to drive regardless of conditions or availability of parking.
Parking is another sore spot for drivers. More parking spots have been lost to closure of independent truck stops and closed rest areas.
I miss the good old, so called, outlaw days when 1,000 miles was a decent days work. :7 (
Yeah. I wish my state had a governor.
National Guard has lots of trucks
I am more acquainted with GA so that's my example. Savannah/Brunswick has expanded dock, container handling/storage space at the ports plus expanded rail and more is under construction. Further, “inland ports” have been constructed in north Ga (and are being expanded) that allow much more rapid movement of containers from the sea ports via rail. IIRC, this movement to north GA. can be under bond such that customs clearance can can be remote from the seaport. FYI, north GA and SW GA is pretty heavily industrialized via automobiles, tires and carpeting among others.
Solution: get rid of the federal government!
Shhh… then it would mean real, long lasting fixes. Can’t have that, not even Republicans.love a crisis.
The biggest problem is California’s efforts to make independent contractors illegal.
Which means no independent truckers.
Of course, Biden wants to do this nationally.

Exactly.... 1000+ miles a day is easily doable while still maintaining driver integrity in most cases. It’s the noob drivers that are concerning.

Back when I started, a lifetime ago, a driver wasn’t allowed to drive FORWARD until they learned to drive BACKWARD, as in backing into a loading dock.
When I finally got my turn in the drivers seat I had had safety drilled into my soul. Not so much with the 30 day driving school idgits.
I think the longest continuous drive I made was from home to Richmond, Virginia, hooked to a load and only stopped for fuel until I delivered in El Paso, Texas. I slept for seven hours and was on the horn to dispatch for another load.
Dang but the money was good back then.

If someone wishes to admin this ping list, I will forward what you need to you. My health and several other recent concerns have firewalled me from applying full-time attention to this, and I know we have many Marylanders and MD ex-pats up to do the job. Let me know, God Bless, and Merry Christmas.
It could be smaller delivery trucks. I doubt they’re talking big rigs here..
Lovely. The Feds eff things up and the STATES have to FIX them!
This is NOT how our REPUBLIC was designed, Kids! Grrrrr!
OHIO PING!
Please let me know if you want on or off the Ohio Ping list.

Memaw, Alabama’s governor, has certainly let us down yet again. I’m trying to talk my daughter into running - she gets stuff done.
