My brother just sent me a link to this article:
http://www.myfoxdc.com/story/238385...trucks-to-catch-drivers-texting#axzz2jL4OHDPB
... so far after the first DAY of cracking down on those that text and drive they issued "dozens of citations".
I wonder what they have under the hood of that Peterbilt?
Texters beware - cops are now driving big rigs to catch you

anybody texting and driving ought to be put in jail and have his/her CDL revoked. Just my humble opinion.
bryanrutledge, A21CAV, HotH2o and 9 others Thank this. -
After posting this thread I just saw the video from the Trucker on Facebook thread. This should be required viewing for all truck drivers:

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.drloveofdfw, pattyj, G3Truks and 1 other person Thank this. -
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 thisGITRDUN45, A21CAV, TwinStickPeterbilt and 2 others Thank 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.!
