I was reading that Walmart wants to pass a bill to raise current DOT truck driving regulations.

Currently its 11 hours of drive time, in a 14 hour day. Meaning theres 3 hours to load, unload, and eat.
Walmart wants a 16 hour day, as long as a driver takes a unpaid 2 hour break. This allows 3 more hours of drivetime. I can barely handle 11 hours of driving when I'm sent on the road. I think its a very bad idea.

Walmart has become a machine destined to take over everywhere. Hell, when I take my North Carolina trips I see more and more being built off the interstate.
