Logging Truck Drivers Call on You to Help Keep It Safe

1/15/09

Quote:

Prince George, B.C.- With increased logging traffic on Chief Lake Road , there is a call from logging truck drivers for some help.
“We’ve had a couple of incidents this past week, and it would be great if we could all work together” says Burke Purden, head of Purden Enterprises Trucking.
Chief Lake Road is a good road says Purden and is (for the most part) posted as an 80kmph speed limit. “When you look in your rear view mirror and see a logging truck, don’t slam on the brakes. It takes a lot of road to stop one of our trucks. Our options are to swing into the oncoming lane if it’s clear, or hit the ditch if it isn’t.” Purden says the best thing to do, if possible, is to maintain your speed. “If you only feel comfortable driving at 40 or 50 in the 80 zone, that’s o.k., stay at that speed and let the logging truck build up speed to pass you when it is safe to do so.”
