No national outcry - BY TRUCKERS!

What exactly changed? The regulations that the CSA covers have been around forever... the fact that they are adding up all of the violations and making them actually mean something is the only new thing on the horizon.

 

What's your point? You have tons of idiots who don't respect their 80000 pound missile going down the highway. Who are not paying attention. Driving 2fast 2 furious. And it's only a matter if time b4 some clown mow's you down.

 

Nothing to do with csa it has to do with the stupid 14 hour running clock on elogs.

 

The example NBC uses to start their story was from 2006:

I HATE when media tries to use the most horrific examples, to make a point 9 years later---when statistics have changed drastically in that time frame. But one statistic remains the same year after year: Nearly 93% of death related accidents involving tractor-trailer vs. passenger vehicle, is found to be the fault of the passenger vehicle since I first read that statistic in 2001. BUT THE MEDIA ISN'T GONNA TELL THE PUBLIC THAT, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T FREAK'N SELL CORN FLAKES!!!

 

The ( especially local ) media accepts advertising dollars from Ambulance chasing Big truck accident lawyers, Nothing new here, Move on.

 

The media also fails to show that in car/truck accidents, 78% of the time , the same vehicle is at fault. No sense in the media posting any REAL facts.

The media never reports about the accident where the 4 wheeler forces a big truck off the road, killing the driver and destroying the truck and the 4 wheeler doesn't have enough insurance to cover the expenses of destroyed truck or a family that has to money out of their pocket to bury their loved one.

The media reports about a truck, tired and has an accident, what they don't report is that state closed all it's rest areas because they said they didn't have the money, yet has toll roads taking in money hand over fist and millions of dollars of road money is spent on bike trials few people use.

Tired of the trucker being the bad guy, let's park it and let the public starve.

 

Smh it's the media's fault.

So it was the media driving thAt log truck today trying to run me off the road. And if possible the 4 wheelers who seemed to maintain their lane. Even though the (media) was riding the zipper.

The media pulling that flatbed while speeding and tailgating the 4 wheeler through town. Sure is lucky the 4 wheeler didn't have to make a turn. The media sure is smart. I guess they can read minds.

 

Click bait, Easy to throw anyone of us CDL drivers under the trailer ( hundreds of thousands of us on the road everyday )
Slow news day, Ignoring the war in Afghanistan. ISIS is fear mongering. Shooting of cops was flavor of last month. OSCAR snubs and hey let's connect with everyday folks, Talk about Tractor Trailers and Wrecks !
