Truck driver concerns relayed to MCSAC

[Mike]

Providing truck drivers a place at the table is critical to improving highway safety and maintaining an efficient supply chain.

That was OOIDA President Todd Spencer’s message to FMCSA’s Motor Carrier Safety Advisory Committee on Tuesday, Dec. 7. Spencer, who also serves as chair of MCSAC’s new Driver Subcommittee, presented the report from the subcommittee’s first meeting in July. The subcommittee consists of more than 20 commercial motor vehicle drivers.

“The pandemic has certainly placed drivers in much greater visibility to the overall public, but drivers have always played a critical role,” Spencer said. “Drivers provide all of our basic needs. (In times of crisis) drivers are always there to save the day. Coming up with accommodations to make it easier for them to do what they do is in all of our best interests.”

Jesus that meeting was a waste of time. I'm honestly surprised nobody whined about HoS. Thats a big thing again. Amongst people who weren't around the kast time we went through that bunch of shit.

We NEED HoS reform!

No there Mr. Five Whole Years experience...Believe me. They don't have the answers you want. Leave well enough alone and keep the left door closed and you'll still get plenty done.
