Was hoping to see it rolled back to 10 hours of drive time, Thinking it would help get some of our guys off layoff

I heard 20 RDWY layed off at 251..how many in Akron?

This whole thing is a can of worms. Frankly, I don't want to make any changes (getting old, you know). Just leave it alone for another 40-50 years, then revisit it. The more the government messes with it, the more screwed up it gets - just like EVERYTHING else it does.

You know back in the day just a few short years ago.I don't remember this much crying and whining over the "Original Rules" Just revert back to those and call it "good"..They were written by people who I am sure had more common sense than the folks up there in DC now have.

Leave it the way it is now and leave it alone. If you don't want 11 hour run, don't bid one. SImple as that.

Not necessarily true. Nothing is ever that simple.
