jazny and dr. david is, this is not unique to the trucking industry, we've seen the same issue come up in resident physician duty hours as people become concerned that parent's safety is compromised by forcing resident physicians to work long hours without appropriate rest, and that compromises their ability to do their job effectively, and impacts patient safety. having heard the testimony today, i would like both of you to respond to the public safety concern and how that relates to the ability to hire qualified safe drivers. >> well, working conditions are always an important issue. certainly in shift work we've seen that in studies of shift work all over the world. it's the working conditions, and these specific areas, if you look at the economists, there's a book called "sweat shops on wheels" essentially saying these are the modern day sweat shops because of the working physicians delivering just in time all the time under the gun, driving longer hour, and for many non-contract and non-union driver

dr. david, when mr. jasny talked about the court of appeals striking down the last regulation, i'd likely to just to just comment on that. >> i'm sorry, i don't have any opinion about that. >> my understanding is, mr. jasny, do you know why they struck down that regulation? >> yes. the regulation, the initial decision was struck down because they did not consider the health of the drivers went imposing a rule that would affect drivers. >> so it was procedural rather than -- >> no, it was substantive because it was a statutory mandate to consider that issue him and the agency did not didn't consider the issue. the courts then went on in, all the problems that while the substantive issues regarding safety, regarding the 11 hours, regarding the 34 hours that the court saw as problems when the case came back. >> i don't need to cut you off but my time is running out here and they do want to ask dr. david one more question. dr. david, you mention in your testimony that there were several errors in d.o.t.'s me
