I don’t think this issue is about who drives the trucks, it’s just that the we need standards on truck safety. That means it’s still an open border policy (with standards). Granted it’s pandering to Teamsters, but it’s feel-good policy. What happens when regulations demand an upgrade of standards to the fleet of US trucks? Talk about $$$ for the carriers. I recall clamor way back for a spring bumper for US trucks to prevent decapitations in rear end crashes. The amount to retrofit is as silly and feasible as US airlines to add anti-missile flares.

I appreciate your view on who drives the trucks. That’s okay. I agree with wanting saftety issues to be a priority.
