Hello, my name is Rusty Wade, I am a 63 year old truck driver who has been driving since 1974. I have four and a half million miles driving experience.
Why I am commenting on the proposed changes in the Hours Of Service regulations.
I attended your listening session held at the Mid-America truck show last year, and left there with high hopes that your agency was going to use the comments drawn from real life experience that I heard many other drivers tell you at that session.. However reading your proposed changes I feel that you misunderstood what drivers were trying to express; or, after reflection you decided that their comments were not germane. You appeared to listen at Louisville, now it appears you were not actually comprehending what you heard.
