The Employee Free Choice Act endorsed by Presidential Elect Obama will likely be enacted by congress early in his administration; and regardless of who becomes the Secretary of Transportation it is clear to me that all aspects of trucking and the transportation industry will soon be increased regulatory constraints which will quickly flow down to shippers and 3PLs in terms of prices, service and reduced capacity.

I expect HOS to be revised and perhaps even codified and I would not be surprised to see driving hours reduced to 10 based on a 12 hour work day. You should expect to see a mandatory fuel surcharge program and stronger enforcement of the EPA Model Anti-idling law; and many (not just LTL) trucking companies could become unionized. Lastly, all efforts to improve productivity through Size and Weight, will quietly be put to sleep.

I just could not resist making a comment.

heard on the radio bush admin is trying to push through crap load of legislation before his term expires, some of it has to be done longer than 60 days from swearing in, right now its 64 days until then, so look for alot of bush bullcrap this week.. i guess clinton did the same thing but the bush admin is trying to rework it so that the obama camp cant overturn these laws when they are in office..

We've had our assess handed to us.
