Another dumb reporter that doesn't know what he is talking about. Those are WORKING hours, not driving hrs. -
This reporter needs to take in consider of the bad winter they are having. Also, I80 needs to be widen. That is a main artery thru IA. Kinda like I35 in texas. More cars then the road can handle.
-
Yeah that stretch of I 80 is also I35 thru des moines. And while four-wheelers tend to space off at the scenery because they see it day in and day out, most of us (not me) see different roads every day. I wonder if the four-wheeler who died was one of those spaced out commuters who did something stupid and set himself up to get hit.

are only 4 people upset by this article??
I think that we truckers need to let reporters like this one, And The Public know that truck drivers are not just lame brains behind the wheel that space out like they do in their commute!! We are professionals, and as such if we are tired we pull over for a break, We pay close attention because we know that we require a longer distance to stop, and compensate for it. But we cannot compensate for four-wheelers who come whipping in to that bumper space that we were leaving ourselves. If we continue to allow stuff like this to be published unanswered soon the public is going to side with the likes of Public Citizen, and we are only going to have 2 hour days to run.

I agree with you. I would love to have everyone that takes their drivers tests have to sit in a virtual reality machine of what a Truck Driver goes through every day, so that they know when they whip out in front of you, what it takes to stop one of these rigs. It will never happen, but it would be nice.
