let me give you some facts Bob. Fact: 70% of all auto/truck collisions are caused by the small car Fact: for every truck wreck there are more than 10 involving cars Fact: for every truck wreck resulting in a fatality, there are more than 5 automobile wrecks resulting in fatalities As for the overspeeding, tailgating, and and cutting off smaller vehicles, this does happen, but tell me, have you ever cut off anyone, tailgated, or speeded? We are supposed to be professionals out there on the road and I admit that there are some truckers that think they own the road and the small cars should get out of their way, but dont lump us all together in the same bunch. "(truckers) keep going in conditions that jeopardize everyone on the road except themselves" gimme a break. so you are saying that if a truck wrecks in bad conditions that the driver is not at risk? what about the cars that are driving in those same conditions? are they not also jeopardizing their own lives and the lives of others on the road? About those truck wrecks on I-70. have you checked the police reports to see who was at fault for causing those wrecks? if not, dont go blaming the truckers if you dont have the facts. As for eperate highways for cars and trucks. belive me, I am all for that. seems people think "it has 18 wheels, it must be able to stop 18 times faster right?" seems hard to belive, but that seems to be the only explination for some of the bonehead moves I see out there on the road. And before you think that all the good truckers are gone, look at the next wreck you see out there in the middle of nowhere. who do you see stopping to give assistance? an 18 wheeler. I have been the first one to stop and give help and call for emergency assistance many times. while at the same time, many cars just slow down to gawk, and then keep on going. I'll get off my soapbox now. it just gets to me when I see/hear people putting down truckers like that. we just need the railroad to get their act together and get some of these trucks off the road, and maybe that will get the trucking rates back up. If you feel I have made any errors here, feel free to let me know and I will correct them.
