Congress is getting lots of bad press lately for its inability to find common ground. Here's a bit of good news for everyone. A bi-partisan Bill incorporated some important safety measures that will help all drivers who share the highways of this Country. Let's hope it will help save some lives.
If you know anyone who was killed or injured in an accident involving a tractor trailer truck, call Bob Vogel at the Vogel Law Firm at 865-357-1949 or email him at rlvogel@robertvogellaw.com
From the press release:
Included in the bi-partisan Bill are key safety changes that have been promoted strongly by safety advocate groups like Road Safe America. Industry leading trade groups like the American Trucking Associations and dozens of their safety minded member companies also support the safety initiatives. “Jobs will be the biggest headline in the mass media and that’s good of course,” said Owings, “but in the trucking industry itself, the mandate for electronic logging of drive time for commercial trucks and the updating of minimal financial requirements for truck companies are huge steps toward safer highways. These rules, along with the new drug and alcohol database, will go a long way towards reducing truck/car fatalities in America.
“This is a great day for safety in America!” said Owings today.
