    anybody texting and driving ought to be put in jail and have his/her CDL revoked. Just my humble opinion.

    Agreed! But I believe they are after 4-wheelers which IS were the true problem is! Some stupid truck drivers but the 4 wheelers.... I say during morning rush 9 out of ten are texting.

    Texting and driving is dumb and if your a professional driver and your guilty of this, then your in no way to be called Professional.

    If you hit my truck as a result of texting and driving, I will sue you, take your home and everything you own and I could care less if your wife and kids don't like it.

    Let's do the odds of that one Trooper Truck catching ya compared to how many trucks on road in his state. Sure it's less than 100 Millionth of a %. LOL

    More then likely the trooper in the semi is just a spotter, and reporting the cars to troopers in regular cars, non the less I'm behind this

    This is extremely wise on the part of the law enforcement officers.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    For some of the truck drivers on the road, it could very well be just the clothes they are wearing, the duffel bag(s) inside their trucks, and some change in their ash trays.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!
