lets get this out. i am an over the road truck driver, and an avid railfan/model railroader, and all i seem to hear is the train people ripping on trucks, and how the government finances the roads, but not the rails. what about the 15 to 25,000.00 a year each truck pays in taxes, permits, etc...?? as to the safety regulations, the trucking industry does need better enforcement and better regulations. while i am on the road, i hear many truck drivers talking about running well over their hours, and running overweight etc.. some type of recorder is definately needed in all trucks if anything is ever going to change. seems most of the truck drivers are mis-informed about the railroads. they whine about government subsidies given to the railroads, and that the trains are taking away their freight. i think it is the other way around. (have you ever tried to tell anything to a trucker when he already has his mind made up? id doesn't do much good) any comments would be greatly appreciated on this topic, and i would be happy to answer any questions (if i am ever home)
