Excellent advice. It's about what is safe, not about who is right or wrong. There is solid evidence to support tighter duty day requirements. Remind them of that. Remind them that complaints they get from industry are no different than complaints voiced by auto makers that tighter safety requirements cost money. People pay more for new cars today because we've mandated safety improvements like air bags, ABS and crumple zones. Those safety improvements were based on evidence.
