Good point. I know of several carriers that have gone to online Orientation during the pandemic....... As if it wasn't hard enough to get folks attention sitting in front of you.

Powers at be will say its due to lower traffic on the roads and in the skies. In 18 mos when Fauci and Birx say we can go to work again thos rules will be implimented with even more force.
Oddly enough if its mostly truck traffic on the road still and accidents are effectively non-existent. As soon as cars start runnin around agaon and theres wrecks, it'll still be the trucks fault

I've been wondering if the climate scientists have been tracking greenhouse gas emissions since the traffic on the highway and skies have been slacking. I wonder if we would get the truth.

Well, the same people that do the climate models probably did the Covid models......

My sister in law works at a large frozen food producer. She used to check the trucks in and process paperwork. Said they had to put a large window A/C unit in the wall to pressurize the office so the air would blow out of the small check in window. When some of these nasty drivers would walk to get bills it smelled like red lobster dumpster in July.
These are all door slammers that only break a sweat walking to the back of the trailer. I mean if your hand tarping a flatbed in Alabama or covered in Kevlar in a steel mill I’ll give you a pass, as long as your next stop is a shower.
It’s just not that hard to not be a dirtbag.

My dad and I got in an argument over this. He thinks hos and elogs will permanently have the reigns pulled in because of this, and I agree it should. Realistically I think the regs will continue to get worse when they decide to open the country back up.

The government almost never gives back anything they’ve taken, so, sadly, I’d say you are closer to right than your dad this time.

Like the temporary tolls they put on bridges to pay for them that never disappear. Cincinnati put a temporary tax to cover restoration of a museum and when it was done they didn’t want to give it up. Shocking.

They have as well as others, I work in the natural gas industry and there is some belief that because the atmosphere has cleaned up over the last month that it will drive further greenhouse gas emissions which in turn will drive the demand for natural gas.
