Comment
According to Prof. Steve Viscelli, many truckers, particularly
contractors, are being seriously exploited by freight
companies.
He describes the situation in detail in his recent book, "The
Big Rig: Trucking and the Decline of the American Dream."

Please keep this in mind as you consider and likely approve
today's regulation of the long-distance trucking sector, and also
as implementation proceeds.
