Alright Cybergal
Thanks for your posts.

I especially liked the video

 

Nothing worse than being stereotyped!! But that happens with all groups of people, and the jobs that they do. I think it is just the way of the world! People are not all bad, just because they fit in to a ceratin group. Then again there are always a few bad apples that spoil the rest of the bunch, I dont think that will ever change, people just have to learn to look beyond it, and realize that people are people, when it comes right down to it.

 

``I would like to express my gratitude for all the safe driving habits I've witnessed by all the truckers I share the road with as we go along to our destinations. But I would like to get some information about the trailers I see that transport cars to dealerships. Whenever I am behing one I notice that there will be a back car secured to a platform with a steep incline to where it looks like the car could easily roll down into the path of a vehicle following it. How do they secure these cars on the trailers? Are they pretty safe? I would like to get some insight on this to ease my fears of traveling behind one, as often times I cannot pass them or get into the other lane due to congested traffic.

 

all cars are securley chained down. the truck could flip over and the cars wont come off
