If you post speed limit signs lower than people perceive as reasonable and prudent, they ignore them and then you have more accidents.

That is going to be a challenge, and one I look at with great apprehension. The primary response we're getting (from members in that area) is no response whatsoever.

This extra equipment allows them to stay on the road for a long time.

No question the success and bowl exposure we've gotten has taken us to another level. The bar is set higher and we are going after better players. Four years ago, we couldn't go head-to-head with Rice and New Mexico for a recruit.

Drivers don't always get to stop at a truck stop for the night. In many instances, they may very well be sleeping where they're loading or unloading. There's no place to get food there.

What's the rush? This is a 75-year commitment and we're going to give it serious discussion in less than 75 days?

There have never been any meaningful drivers training regulations ever for truckers.

Our members are probably offsetting half the cost themselves. What it could mean for them is a 25% loss in net income. Given the demands of the job - long work weeks, time spent away from home - the rewards aren't there. The work is to hard relative to the amount of compensation you make. It isn't sufficient to keep them in business.

I think we got a group with really good size and athleticism. These are big guys who can move. They've all got quick feet and are fairly agile.

I think it's inexcusable we don't do a better job of training. The average turnover rate is something like 136 percent, so they actually lose more drivers than they're able to hire.
