Are you sure about that? What would the insurance risk premiums be on letting amateurs drive tractor trailers.
Seems this would simply push the risks (future expense of an accident) on other people of the road.
- himeexcelanta 7y agoI don’t have any hard numbers or studies. I am inferring this from the fact that the ATA and trucking lobby hasn’t made a hard push to relax FMCSA safety regulations. Large motor carriers were the first to adopt ELD. They know what regulations to fight and which ones to accept, in terms of what will help their bottom line (and maximize value to their shareholders as many motor carriers are public companies).
- matz1 7y agoATA and trucking lobby might have different motives for not relaxing regulation, high barrier to entry is good for them.
