    Perhaps, but I don't believe much the ATA says or supports.

    just plain stats,, from injuries on the dock and accidents many truckers die or get hurt every year, think about the in cab king pin release,,saves a lot of pulled mussels, had it on my last 2 trucks loved just hitting the button saved a lot of greasy shirt sleeves too

    Don't think for one second that they have a driver's best interests in mind.

    Ok, I have to wonder about the intelligence of your co-workers if an in-cab kingpin release is able to keep you from gettiing greasy shirt sleeves.

    I'd thought, for some reason, in cab kingpin release was illegal for a road tractor. Maybe not?

    What I want to use the internet for is to get all truck drivers in North america to go to those Carrier job recruitment pages or Kijiji job postings and give a reply with only "Pay? Pay? Pay? Pay? Pay? Pay? ...". I would be curious to see if after 6 months, the industry gets the hint when such a high % of the replies to their ads are full of spam just stating "Pay? Pay? Pay? Pay? Pay? Pay? Pay? ....". So sick of seeing truckers getting ####ed around when they are the ones with the true power. It's just they are all divided and feel alone. There is no reason to feel that way, just look online or ask any 5 truckers how they feel. The internet is the perfect tool to make a movement bigger than any Union.

    First I've heard of that, but I wouldn't want one.

    Could you imagine accidentally hitting that button going down the road, or a bumpy road causing that button to release?
