175,000 Truck Drivers could lose there job

Never any disrespect intended to a veteran of the roads. Grandfathered or not, even if a couple blemishes some million miles later. More gov is in anyone's business the more f'd up it will be for all. Well maybe the remainder will demand higher wages, great! Except the volume that could be moved will be lacking the number of drivers. Will it lead more to rail, and only regional work?
Passed school top of my class for the A, added 3 more endorsements, and have driven 3-400K miles in med duty truck/trailers, tow trucks, and rollbacks loaded with 2 cars/lt about 50' long safe no accidents. Recovery work is more local vs the high miles of OTR, my own investments were focused on the 22 states I transported to/through. Working for others I never left the state. Trucking is one of those last frontiers an average guy/gal can still work and travel without a suite&tie. Any interference with that by the gov on top of present criteria/DAK/MVR/Credit etc.. is some serious overkill, like the airports are now, gov can't put together much that works well. Stick to the military, ssi, and basic overseeing and keep Americans working, not unemployed. How well did they do with American manufacturing so far? Remember NAFTA, remember when there used to be steel plants in Pittsburgh, Buffalo, Kodak & Zerox jobs here in Rochester,NY. Gov improved that nicely! Open the flood gates some more, even the illegals will want to leave.

Speaking of jobs lost, 2 good drivers I know working for 2 different companies both laid off last week. This economy is still going down!

CSA is going to suck. This can't be good for truck drivers.
