With the highway infrastructure deteriorating the way it is and with all the congestion around every major city. Why does the government seem to just "turn their heads" the other way from trucking?

"We are committed to cracking down on carriers and
drivers who put people on our roads and highways at risk," said
Secretary Ray LaHood. "This rule gives us another tool to enforce
hours-of-service restrictions on drivers who attempt to get around the
rules."
"Safety is our highest priority," said FMCSA
Administrator Anne S. Ferro. "In addition to requiring EOBRs for
carriers that have already demonstrated a pattern of hours-of-service
violations, we will initiate a rulemaking later this year that
considers an EOBR mandate for a broader population of commercial motor
carriers."
Electronic on-board recorders are devices attached
to commercial vehicles that automatically record the number of hours
drivers spend operating the vehicle. Driving hours are regulated by
federal HOS rules,
which are designed to prevent commercial vehicle-related crashes and
fatalities by prescribing on-duty and rest periods for drivers.more here

It’s quite inevitable, really: after Google announced free turn-by-turn GPS navigation for Android devices, followed by Nokia’s decision to offer the same on its smartphones, the price of full-featured GPS navigation apps on other platforms is hurtling towards zero.
Case in point: MapQuest 4 Mobile, a free GPS navigation app for the iPhone, now offers “basic voice guidance.”
The app will tell you when you need to take a turn, and if you get lost, it will warn you that you’re off route. Other features
include saving maps and routes on MapQuest.com and retrieving them on
your iPhone, easy POI finding via the OS X dashboard-like Place
Carousel, finding you on a map or in relation to a route, and free form
search. read more
