Yesterday I spent a good part of my day visiting my Congressman and both Senators local offices. I had a nice visit with their aide and discussed issues such as fuel surcharges, broker skimming, hours of service etc. that affect our livelihood as well as everyone's safety. Together we prepared notes they told me would be forwarded to the legislative assistant in D.C. that works on transportation issues. My impression is the visits were very positive and they will follow up on the discussions. I also believe they take someone seriously who takes the time and effort to come into the office and talk face to face. I'd encourage everyone who has access to a local office to do the same.
