(1) Speed limits gone. Workers encouraged to drive more recklessly and given tighter deadlines to meet. (2) More truck parking for the same reason. Cities filled with parking lots for truckers to sleep instead of being reasonable distance and deadlines for the routes.
None of this "helps truckers". This helps truck companies exploit their workers more while making the roads less safe and cities covered in more parking lots.
Though that sort of makes sense for traffic moving smoothly and consistently, I thought speed limiters on large/heavy vehicles was mostly due to the braking time/distance rather them fitting amongst speeds of other traffic?
It is. Ravioli is talking nonsense.
