Study- 300,000 truckers would lose their job

How did they come up with the number 300, 000? That's a pretty large number. Did any of you participate in this study? They didn't have me pee, or interview me, or whatever. These studies kill me because I dont see how a sample size tells the story.

 

No problem, I just get to say where the hair comes from,,oh, btw, I just ate 2 greasy burritos half an hour ago,,

 

Bring it on. This is the greatest news we have heard all year

 

Maybe, while I don't condone such actions, don't they have bigger fish to fry, like HOS, parking, etc? Still milking the druggie thing 30 years later. Hey, news flash, all the druggies were "weeded" out years ago, just shows how out of touch, or desperate for money ( think $150 bucks times 300grand) these lawmakers are. And I thought it was over regulated in the 90's. Got to be nuts to feed into that.

 

Why stop with truck drivers? Make everybody take this test to get a license and also after every accident or major ticket such as texting while driving or reckless driving.

How could this not improve traffic on the roads?

 

Because, truckers are the "hot button" for every lawyer in town. And stuff like driving down RR tracks, rolling a load of those poor cows( on the way to the slaughterhouse), or running over a footbridge or pushing 4 wheelers down the road, doesn't help matters. Besides, there's no money in 4 wheelers, and who will serve us pizzas or cut our grass, 2 of the many jobs that don't require drug testing,,yet. Total scam to raise money for their swanky lifestyles. Really, has drug testing really made a difference? Ask the families who that kid ran his flatbed of sticks down the mountain pass into stopped traffic. I'm sure he was clean,,don't want to hear about that,

 

You go to a used car dealer. You see a car that you are interested in and the window sticker says, "Price: Please see salesperson." So, you ask a salesman and the next thing you know, he is wanting you to come inside and fill out a credit app, have a doughnut and a coffee and sit while he goes to talk to the car lot manager, because "he really likes you and wants you to get the best deal!"

In actuality, he's trying to get you to pay top dollar for a car that's valued at 50% of what they are selling it to you for. But yet, he has you feeling like he's doing you a favor!

One of the biggest dangers that I see to trucking nowadays is how SUBMISSIVE and DOCILE newer drivers are. These bottom feeding ambulance chasing lawyers are not good lawyers. They are the bottom of the barrel when it comes to law. The thing is, they don't have to be good at their craft when truck drivers are beaten into submission. Easy pickings! There have been a couple threads where some driver posts about having an accident and when you ask about pictures, the driver will say, "Well, the motorist was irate and the cop told me to stay inside my cab for safety and he would take the pictures." Driver, that cop just PORKED you. Pictures would have easily proven that you were not at fault, but because you didn't get any, you now have no proof.

"But Six, what was I supposed to do...disobey the cop???"

CYA, dumascan! Homeboy hit you, get pictures. Cop tells you to stay in your cab for your safety, you tell that cop that that's his responsibility to maintain order and you commence to taking pictures. If he can't do his job, he should call for backup. Your pictures need to tell your side of the story.

Had a woman accuse me of backing up on her car in stop and go traffic. I was aimed downhill. Made absolutely sure to get pics of my truck aimed downhill. You ain't never seen a truck that was aimed downhill roll backwards by accident. Impossible. I made certain to get picture to show that I was aimed downhill.

 

The guy did wake up in the ambulance after accident asking the paramedics how bad was it ?!
Dont worry , some scratches on the right leg !
Can i see it ?!
Unfortunately the leg in the other car !
