    Define "a LOT more", then provide more than fear-inducing rhetoric as proof.

    If they can't afford basic maintenance then they should get out of the business all together. For that reason, I wish fuel would go up another $2.00 a gallon. Then perhaps we could have 100% safe trucks on the road, coupled with 100% compliant drivers.

    Very well said Roadkill. There is no excuse for driving a truck, or any other vehicle for that matter, if you know the brakes are bad, it's not worth the risk.
