God bless you and I will do as you request.

Thanks sir, actually, here is how Congress can help us out, since we have no champion.:

1. DEMAND AND END TO PRACTICAL MILES. Truckers should get the mileage they are driving, not post office to post office mileage that is absent of reality.

2. A WEEKEND NEEDS TO BE DEFINED AS 48 HOURS INSTEAD OF 34. We already spend too much time away from home, more than the average military serviceman does.

3. ALL TRUCKING COMPANIES NEED TO GIVE 2 WEEKS VACATION PER YEAR. This is for the health of the driver to relieve stress and to be with family. One week is a joke.

And ask your Congresscritter to be a champion for us. We do not have a voice because of low pay because Congress decided we were unskilled laborers. Really. I never knew the skill involved until I became a trucker.
