The new rules will make little, if any difference to the amount of revenue earned by the railroads. Check out a lot of your trailer and stack trains. You'll find that a significant number of those trailers and containers are not revenue loads, but are equipment repositioning moves. <br /> <br />Also, the new rules will do little to tighten rampant cheating on hours by truckers. As has been well pointed out margins in the trucking industry are razor thin. To keep up, many truckers pu***he limits. Look at the City of NO crash at Boubonaisse, IL and that trucker who was working 2+ jobs and keeping separate books. They caught him by tracing his fuel receipts... <br /> <br />LC
