Trucking industry backs tough safety agenda
The American Trucking Associations released a remarkably tough, forward-looking highway safety agenda Tuesday.
Among other things, the trade group is calling for strict new rules governing truck speed. It is calling for speed governors that would keep the speeds of the big rigs no higher than 65 mph.
The ATA is also backing such common-sense proposals as the greater use of speed cameras, tougher laws governing drunk divers and tougher licensing and training requirements for young drivers.
If you're interested in such matters, the group's report is worth taking a look at.
