Obama's war on America------The Government’s War on Long-Haul Truckers

The Government’s War on Long-Haul Truckers | National Review Online

Magnifying the stress are more federal rule changes that took effect in July and are now roiling the industry.”
The federal agency that is doing all this is the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), an agency within a bigger agency, the Department of Transportation.
