(2,873 posts)I spent over 23 years driving school buses, and working also as a driver trainer.
I can remember an out of town field trip, where a large number of our drivers transported athletic and cheerleading teams for a regional event. I order to abide by the hours limitation, we had to shuttle multiple relief drivers who would drive the return trips. These kinds of regulations are for safety, to prevent accidents based on driver fatigue.
I can see that tRump's campaign might be to chintzy to pay for the extra drivers, but I would be surprised that the person at the bus company who took the order for transportation didn't say anything. The hours limitation is a common part of both state and federal law, since the drivers have to possess a valid commercial drivers license in order to transport passengers. The federal government is the entity that sets the standards for and regulates the CDL program.
This smells like tRump's campaign expecting to be allowed to break rules and also not paying for the full amount of service required, and then trying to blame the service provider.
I just can't believe that people actually want tRump and the people around him to hold the office of the most powerful person in the world. I know that they're doing it because he promises to punish everyone that they hate, but it's just mind blowing that they can't see that the incompetence, greed and malice will affect them as well.
