RR's are full - then let truckers pull doubles!

There is just one word for this idea. DUMB. <br /> <br />The doubles out there are unsafe enough so that many truck drivers won't drive them even with extra pay. Further, allowing doubles on rural highways and city streets is much less safe than on the interstates. Further, trucks damage our highways enough without adding more problems. Lets have the trucks pay for the damage they already do before we encourage further growth. <br /> <br />Truckers with their driver shortage, their own financial problems, their new HOS regulations and less efficient EPA tractors are having a problem of their own. Don't look now but there are not enough trucks now to handle just the existing truck business much less trying to pick up slack for the railroads. <br /> <br />LC
