truck accidents in the 70s and 80s

BALONEY!! Their title sounds fancy, but I wouldn't believe ANYTHING they put in print.

 

You don't think that the increase in the number of trucks and cars on the road in 15 years has any effect. The population has grown significantly. O course the capacity of the roads hasn't. I remember 20 years ago you could drive large of even the NY Thruway with your high beams on and not meet any opposing traffic for 1/2 hour sometimes. Try that today

 

The increased traffic for pileups. Yes. But I'm talking trucks alone. By themselves. There's more in the ditch today then when I started. I hardly ever saw a truck in the ditch. Today, it's at least a weekly occurence. If not daily. And there's also more eld's today. Along with the new rules. I started with the old rules. That provided more flexibility for sleep.
