"I think the proposed rule is a sham ... and so do our courts," New Jersey Sen. Frank Lautenberg said at a Senate subcommittee hearing. He was joined by consumer advocates who've sought legal orders to reduce by one hour truckers' daily drive time. "The administration has refused to listen and it's time for Congress to get involved."

Holy smoke! The administration has refused to listen?

Dear Senator Lautenburg,
Please mind your own business because The House and Senate is the same as what you called the proposed rule---A SHAM--Go back to your palatial hole in DC
