Rules of the road * USA - Long-haul truckers fume over regulations
A number of rule changes coming down the road are likely to have significant implications for the industry
Charleston,SC,USA -The Charleston Post Courier, by Peter Hull -September 9, 2007: -- Forgive the region's truckers if they're feeling a little, well, picked on right now... They include changes to the maximum hours drivers can work in a day, impending federal identification requirements and efforts to curb speeding tractor-trailers... It's enough to drive the most experienced trucker around the bend... Barring a last-minute legal challenge, beginning Friday, the number of hours long-haul drivers can spend behind the wheel will be cut from 11 hours a day to 10. The decrease could hurt productivity, drivers say, and eventually hit consumers in their wallets...
