 Feb. 2, 2012 | Auto safety advocates, members of Congress and the head of the 1.4-million member International Brotherhood of Teamsters said Wednesday they oppose a GOP plan [H.R. 763] to allow much heavier trucks on the nation's roads. "Heavier and longer trucks mean greater stopping distances and shorter reaction times. This legislation is treacherous to the driving public," said Teamster President Jim Hoffa, who called it a "recipe for danger and disaster. This legislation is a reckless giveaway to the trucking industry, and corporate greed is at the wheel." Full story here.
