I drove for awhile my friends and sad fact is most "Big Truck" and passenger vehicle accidents are NOT the fault of the truck driver but of the passenger vehicle driver. Gawd knows how many brain dead soccor moms, yuppies and stoners I dodged driving trucks as they talked on cell phones , picked their noses or bopped to the tunes on their radios and or visited with passengers riding with them! |
you got that right EARL, i'm a trucker and i saw an article by the FHWSA
that 95% of truck and car accidents are caused by the cardrivers, but
the truck co's are paying to keep from being sued.
i've been driving trucks for 30 yrs and only have had two accidents and
neither one was my fault but both times my co. paid the pricks to stay out of court.
i will go pee in a cup anytime i'm asked and i never have to worry about
failing. what i think is fair is that everyone has to pee in a cup to get a drivers license.
and another thing just because i have the hazmat endorsement on my
C.D.L. to get it renewed this yr. i will have to start the process two
months early dueto having to have a F.B.I. background check and full
fingerprinting done. as ordered by the H.S.C. ...... not really bitching
just stating the facts.
