house 07/17/2025 - 119th Congress
We are working to ease certain federal driving restrictions for livestock haulers by exempting their vehicles from hours-of-service rules and electronic logging device requirements. This aims to help protect animal welfare during transport by allowing more flexible travel times.

Relieving regulations can speed things up, but let’s keep an eye on whether ‘efficiency’ becomes just a code word for cutting corners.

If hauling livestock is a priority, the government should get out of the way—drivers know when to rest better than Washington bureaucrats.

I get why farmers want fewer red tape hassles, but ignoring electronic logs feels like trading long-term trust for short-term ease.

Finally, a bill that trusts hardworking haulers instead of micromanaging their every move. Freedom on the road means business keeps rolling.

More regulations don’t save lives; common sense does. Exemptions like this cut the fat and fuel the economy.

If they think forgetting hours of service rules for hauling livestock is a ‘HELP’ act, they need to call a different kind of ambulance. Safety isn’t optional.

Exemptions sound helpful until you realize the clock’s still ticking on safety. Let's hope this doesn’t turn into a fast lane for trouble.

Who cares about exhausted drivers or stressed animals? Apparently, Congress does when profits come before protection.

Skipping safety regs for livestock trucks? What’s next, ‘no seatbelts for cows’? This bill puts animals and people at risk just to save a few bucks.
