I-Team Investigation: Medically Unfit Truck Drivers These two news items are essentially the same but carried out by different reporters at different stations in the Kentucky/Ohio region. It looks like because they are "sister" stations they shared info. I talked to one of the reporters earlier in the week when we caught wind of the upcoming story. It looks like they both attempted to sprinkle in some things to "appear" fair. But I get the feeling that many people will still be dissappointed with the full story.

Someone else told me there was a similar thing coming out of Tampa but I have not yet found that one yet.

State Agency Can't Verify Truckers Medically Fit To Drive State Agency Can't Verify Truckers Medically Fit To Drive 3/6/09 Quote: It's not an easy life, and by far, the vast majority of truckers are safe drivers. But an On Your Side investigation found some are also putting themselves and others at risk. At 60 mph, it’s an 80,000-pound weapon. And we found truckers with serious medical conditions are often behind the wheel. Jessica Rose was killed instantly when a big rig slammed into her car. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/29541011/
