The transportation system is moving to relax federal regulations that require easing of a time rule for the maximum number of driving hours in a day for truck drivers.

My 30 working years come to mind, traveling daily on he New Jersey Turnpike. The turnpike is a critical link in the transportation network of the northeast United States and teh safeest, quickest, most convenient, but most congested routes for hundreds of thousands of commuters and truckers every day.

There is a serious need for our elected transportation officials to hear the heartbeat and mindset for all American who travel our highways and not to put commerce over our safety.

Truck driver fatigue is cited as the chief cause ofhte 2014 crash that critically injured Tracy Morgan and killed comedian James McNair, fedeal official say.
