Comment Period Extended until July 9, 2007

The FMCSA extended the public comment period until July 9, 2007 for those wishing to comment on FMCSA 2007-28055, concerning the Mexican Pilot Truck Program.

To date, there are more than 1900 comments, the majority opposing the program. Not for any valid reason, rather a multitude of people following their master’s directions and posting the various opponents talking points. Hell, most of the cannot even spell or form a proper sentence. (Visions of toothless hillbillies etc. etc.)

Some of the proponents such as the American Trucking Association (which I rarely agree with) have posted well thought out and relevant comments. Others, such as the Advocates for Highway and Auto Safety, a group aligned with Public Citizen have posted comments which are rude, confrontational and have no relevancy in the comment process.

But what is obvious is that NOBODY has taken the time to READ what has been done by FMCSA to comply with the requirements set forth by Congress.

But why should they? They have exhausted all their arguments as this site and the FMCSA amongst others have proved the folly of their comments. They seem to be reduced now to arguing over semantics.
