BAD TRUCKERS * USA - Crack down on bad truck drivers now.
This article is about a trucker that wrecked and killed a cop that was on the shoulder. It’s right on the money in every regard. This guy should not have been on the road
USA -Trucking Blog Network, by Wayne Weisser -15 Sept 2008: -- Big trucks are the lifeblood of this nation. We must have them rolling if we want to have milk, bread, beer, new DVDs and all the other parts of life we enjoy... But, we have got to do a better job of regulating, read that as getting off the road, those drivers who just don’t measure up, who don’t abide by the rules of the road and who don’t understand the huge, 80,000-pound responsibility they assume when they move behind the wheel. It should read “…do a better job of enforcing…” other than that, it’s right on... Like any other profession, the majority of truck drivers are good, competent people who take their jobs seriously in all its respects, especially in their particular capacity the safety of others... But, their misdeeds in their professional capacity require a majority response by our industry, so the trucking industry and others drivers must respond to those in their midst who do not meet their standards... I thought that’s what DAC and the CDL license rules were supposed to do? You’re not supposed to be able to go to another state and get a new license. I don’t think we need more rules, but enforcing the ones that are already on the books would sure help... (As ex-Arg's President Perón said: "The people is good one, but if you control they, are better ones")
