Since it's pro-trucker I'm sure it will include:

  1. Pay for waiting at the dock and stuck in traffic rather than just per-mile, and alternative minimum wage rules ensuring that truckers don't end up working for pennies per hour.

  2. Fatigue rules like aviation that account for cumulative fatigue and circadian rhythm.

  3. Limits on that companies can do with trackers, forbidding their use for "productivity management".

That stuff is definitely in there, Right?

From the people who brought you "Let's give ALL the air traffic controllers an incentive to quit immediately and all at once".

  1. Bust the unions, less pay for truckers.
  2. Cheap China meth available in truck stop vending machines
  3. AI assisting in maximizing profits so truckers are guaranteed to work more and get paid less.
