Yes, there are problems with the transportation industry. However, increasingly harsh regulations that diminish driver’s earning capacity is not the whole solution.
If you want us to drive less and exercise more, thereby addressing safety concerns that the bloated federal and state DOT bureaucracies and the public are so concerned with; then you need to increase the amount of money that truck drivers are paid.
Let’s take the example of a typical Wal-Mart Distribution “LIve Unload” as a “for instance”, they, Wal-Mart, are allowed four hours to unload the freight without penalty. The average driver is paid only for miles driven, not by the hour. So, a driver is losing hours out of their seventy hour allotment that they are allowed to drive for the week and receiving absolutely no compensation. In my opinion there needs to be a combination of pay, miles/hourly or an hourly pay scale that is an industry standard.
There need to be tradeoffs made regarding driver pay or drivers will be driven out of the industry because they are unable to make a living wage. Yes, this will cause an increase that is passed onto the consumer, but by increasing regulation and decreasing driver earning potential the industry and government bureaucracy are exacerbating the problem, not solving it. Drivers are away from home for extended periods of time in an extremely dangerous job that strains the bonds of marriage and parenting and when you break down their pay versus the hours and miles put in on the job, in many instances, the drivers aren’t even making minimum wage.
What are you going to do when drivers are either forced to go back to running illegally to make a living or just quit and go on welfare because most companies outside of the transportation industry refuse to even look at a driver when they apply to work for them due to a stereotype of truck drivers being ignorant, filthy savages?

I doubt if you’ll find metrics. First, any thefts would be reported in whatever local police / court system and not tallied up nationwide. Secondly I doubt that either company would proudly release this information publicly. Finally I think you’ll fi…
