Former Newark mayor now U.S. Senator Cory Booker recently introduced legislation called the Truck Safety Act, which would require truckers to be paid by the hours worked, rather than by the miles driven. When drivers are paid based on how far and how fast they drive, Booker says it puts us all in danger. Does he have a point? There's a trucker who made a video recently explaining the dangerous flaws of the current system. Even if you'll never work in the industry, you'll certainly be in a car next to a big rig so you might want to take time to watch this.
