Driving in a CRX is not nearly as taxing as driving a semi. If you've never driven one or ridden in one then you couldn't possibly understand the difference.

Holding semi truck drivers to a certain number of hours a day is not needless, pointless or hurtful. It's smart.

If WalMart wants 16 hour days then they can buy sleepers and employ team drivers. There's no reason the rest of us should be endangered to further improve their bottom line.

And THAT is the real bottom line.

I would not drive cross country in a CRX on a bet. You can't be serious.

By the way, the 14 hour window that is now in effect started when:

LAST YEAR

Before that, there was no window to complete the 10 hours
maximum driving allowable in a day.
