Wow, Ed. I need to get your address so I can send you some bandaids. After that one, your finger tips gotta be bloody. Some really great info! I disagree that trucks don't pay for hiway maint. They do in fuel taxes and some other piddly taxes that they pay. But, they don't come near covering their fair share. Don't get me started on trucks vs rails. I fart wrong at work and I am taking a whiz test. Almost anybody can get a CDL (I have a class A CDL myself) and roll down the hiway hauling whatever and not ever see a urine test. A truck full of whatever rolls killing three people and you are lucky to see a little blurb about it on the news. A train derails 10 cars of coal in the middle of nowhere it is all over the news. What gives? The railroad industry is constantly scrutinized, while a large portion of the trucking industry slips through the cracks never checked. I have never seen a train swerve and hit somebody else or never had a train be discourteous to me on the hiway, or flip me the bird and not let me merge onto the hiway. O.K. I'm done whining.
