I do have good news ,
California ( I know how most feel and I hear you but this is different) ,and there may be more states , i don't know of, have revised there written driving tests for the dreaded 4 wheeler, and they have added questions about you , the Truck Driving Professional. I am thrilled about this because it is a start on the path to get the 4 wheeling public that care, educated. The ones that don't care will weed themselves out, no matter how much we educate them.
The DMV is a great start , they have a long way to go but this is a start.
1. They are seeing just how they are dangerous they truly are.
2. They know 4 wheelers are the problem , especially to You Professional Driver.
3. They are willing to do something about it.
More good news is for the first time in years we are at a low in accidents,(even with larger numbers being on the roads) and those accidents are causing less fatalities.
For me I am grateful that the DMV knows at least a bit of the problems and are willing to take action. I love you Drivers, I know you save lives every time you drive, and it won't happen overnight, but you will get what you deserve, with safety and respect and more. Because you do so much more than Drive. I am no Einstein , if I can see it everyone can. Thank You.
Good news and more good news

I will . I want miracles to happen. You have helped them happen for me, and I want them to happen for you. At first I had ideas that everyone was going to learn fast and our roads were going to be utopia ....and everyone was going to appreciate Drivers as they should. And even the zipper into one lane was going to go smooth ..lol I have discovered that most cars don't care bout much of anything but themselves.
So every rotten 4 wheeler that cuts you off and makes me cringe when I see it and I see everyday, if he gets a message not to do that and all the other things as well, and he listens and stops his dangerous behavior, that is a miracle to me. Just being alive and being on the road with you all is my paradise. I know something most don't know, that is Truck Drivers in general are unique, funny, are tough , can read others like a book. And more too but you are humble. ......LOL...with a one or two exceptions.. For the most part.

Good news is relative. I'm happy to hear the lower accident stats, on a recent cc trip, I didn't ONE problem relating to trucks,,in 3 separate construction zones, however, there were 3 separate car rear enders. I have said all along, our truck drivers are the best. The 4 wheeler thing? Sorry, won't happen, and the reason is, our society practically demands 4 wheelers to drive the way they do today. In our instant gratification society, driving is horribly slow, and the worst part of many peoples day. I don't think truck drivers today have it any different on the roads, 4 wheelers have always been our bane, it's the scheduling and HOS that cause todays truck drivers to have an incident, not the highways so much. And last, California,,,
, my daughter lives in L.A., California is the best of places and the worst of places. Clearly in a world of their own, and if the greed doesn't eventually consume them, the ocean will.
