    Do these trucking schools teach newbie drivers about the reality of driving commercial vehicles? About what to expect over the years of being on the road, or do they just let you find out the truth on your own and avoid the details of what you will see? You risk your lives everyday and experience death on those highways continually and just curious if the corporations orientations of newbie drivers ignores the sadness and remorse you must feel when death on the highways surrounds you daily.

    You do not live cringing from death. You will go out doing whatever it is you do in life, day or night when it's your time. You are basically have the attitude that you will go out knee deep in hot brass from fighting all of your enemies.

    The OP's picture has too much impact on many people and does destroy a chance of a decent trauma narrative by scaring the poor bairns and possibly be opening one more time wounds among the old who survived a war.

    Death happens when driving your car/pickup. Did you get special training for that?
    It is a rarity, all you can do is pay attention to your surroundings. Dont tailgate and be a better driver than those around you.

    Censorship of photo being too graphic seems to answer the question that truck driving schools avoid warnings about these things when searching for new recruits or negotiating pennies for miles. Where did the graphic photo happen is unknown and totally censored by main stream media. Death happens sounds like "Hillary Clinton" what difference does it make? Over the past five years, truck driver fatalities have risen 11.2 percent. Truck driver remains one of the deadliest occupations in the country, with 745 drivers killed on the job last year. Unlike many occupations, drivers don’t have total control of their work environment; public roads and highways; so there’s always danger. Long hours, low pay and tough working conditions contribute to annual turnover that hovers around 100 percent and puts inexperienced drivers on the road with as little as 14 hours behind the wheel training. In addition to being the deadliest profession, truck drivers job-related injuries and illness, also more than any other U.S. occupation. Believe these statistics offer a snapshot of how the government and medias have massive censorship of the safety history of large trucking companies. Death happens; what difference does it make, we came, we saw, he died. semi-truck.jpg baby-alcoholic.jpg
