    How much is this going to affect Local drivers that don't keep log books? Pretty much keep the speed close to legal and do our best to keep the trucks safe? I'm not sure about the CSA2010.

    Your statement above is one sided! You say unprofessional drivers (4 wheelers). Dont you read. This new Regulation has to do with the unprofessional (18 wheelers), you know all the ones who think their better than everyone else. The same ones who think because they got a CDL they OWN the center lane, and laws are not for truckers?
    WAKE UP!!!!!
     
    Yatista Thanks this.

    You have any idea why they use the center lane?

    The riskiest move to be made in a big truck is changing lanes.

    ...and its not for a 4 wheeler?

    Trip home yesterday from Memphis,......
    construction zone (workers present)
    safty signs said (50 MPH) Truckes going by me well over 60-65 MPH.
    NB out of ATL trucker weaving all over the road, passed him (talking on cell phone)
    Today in the storm truckers (professional) driving , no lights on at all.

    I do respect you and your truck, and ask for the same from all the professional drivers out there.
    150,000 miles a year on the road with all ya all truckers.
    Drive a cargo van, have class c CDL
    log as needed (alabama)
    Drive legal or not at all, a few past employers didn't like that one.

    Not compared to a big truck or enclosed van.

    There is not a blind spot for them.

    In a big truck, a blinker is turned on and people begin to move to block it or race to the lane to stop him.

    Most of the center lane activity is around a larger city. The speed limit is usually 55 mph. If this lane is running 65, why do you need to go faster?

    Only 150,000 miles a year? You are low compared to mine.

    Maybe so, but I did take drivers training in school and continue to not only look out for me, but also others out on the road. I give you truckers room and respect, and just ask the same from you.

    The laws and regulations made for the industry are made for everyones safety, not to see how many can be broken.
    Just dont group all 4 wheelers in the same basket. Some of us take pride in our work.
