The deal they made with trump?
Many of us were baffled why trump did not intervene and stop the ELD mandate. What sticks out to me the most, is the way the media has been reporting the story, that the ELD could not be responsible for the transportation crisis, becuase the HOS did not change...... The spin that is being pushed, is that it is the trump economy that is driving it, becuase trump is such a genius, that now for the first time in history there are not enough trucks, the economy is growing so fast, that nothing can keep up to it, including trucking........ And leading the cheer is who? The ATA. So now you get every business owner in America fighting for trucks, and they wonder why? And then they pick up some publication like transport topics, etc and they read these articles that are influenced by the ATA, and propaganda becomes perception. A move strait out of Joseph Goebbels play book. Trump has managed to steal the ATA's microphone, and exploit it for his own purposes, and all it cost him was the ELD mandate. Now here comes the mainstream media, who supposedly hates trump, and they cannot expose this, because they are a bunch of ultra liberals who worship the concept of regulation, it's one of their core values, if not their god. Trump has once again out maneuvered his opponents.
