Nice contradiction there. The industry says these can be used safely...assuming you have done what you are "supposed" to do and pulled over? Sounds like they already aren't allowed to use these while driving, so how will including them in the texting ban change things?

“We’re supposed to pull over, but nobody ever does,” said Kurt Long, 46, a veteran trucker based in Wagoner, Okla., who hauls flour, sugar and other dry goods.
