    11 deaths per day. 868 crashes per day.

    SERIOUSLY!!!!!!!!!!!!

    divide that by 48 states. that means every state highway patrol is inspecting 18 accidents a day.

    When i first started in this bizz i saw some insurance specs that stated there is about 1 crash or incident per hour nationwide involving big rigs

    From fender benders to total wipe outs.
