Truck speed is dependent on fuel price. More Federal control is not the answer.

And that would be true if truck drivers were paid by the hour. I know some are, but aren't most paid by the mile or by the load? I know during Tomato season the drivers get paid per load they deliver. The extra cost of fuel is more than made up by driving like a mad man and getting as many runs in as possible. The tipped over tomato trailers become proof of that.
