They may be trying to create public demand and acceptance of that hazardous situation.
Companies would love it. No more driver restrictions and trucks would run 24/7. No breaks, no medical insurance, no wages and no unions. Dream come true for capitalists and Republicans alike.

Unless, your family is the one of many crushed by a single truck crash.
