Without it, the United States will die in a minimum of 3 days. As for my thoughts on the matter, I believe the government needs to start deregulating this industry. Many veteran drivers are in their retirement years and we will need an influx of new drivers to take the helm. But unfortunately, many of these new drivers are leaving the industry because they cannot handle the pressure put on them by the government. The American highways are the safest they have ever been, so we need to stop thinking about how safe we can make the roads, and start thinking about how we can keep these guys in the industry.
