I wish enough truckers would stick together and stop moving freight for a week. That would be all it would take to wake up the American public. The anti-truck groups BS would fall on deaf ears then.

What they don't want to tell you, is that most studies have shown in the truck at fault rate, I believe it was found that 40% of those accidents occured in the first 4 hours of driving, and only 1% occurred in the 11th hour of driving. Read the in the truckers new or one of those just this last week.
They also fail to tell the rest of the world that over 70% of the accidents involving big trucks and four-wheelers are the fault of the four wheeler, which at the time of the accident, over 70% occured after the four wheeler driver had been at work over 8 hours. So they cross the figures to skew them against the truck driver. |
