Video: If Trucks Stopped...
Topic 5877 | Page 1
That should be put on national TV instead of all the political ads they are running these days! Would maybe educate the real world what the truckers do for this country......maybe they would stop some of the BS like the right lane issue

I agree! I would also like to see this on TV.
Great video, I too think it should ran on network TV. Last night on the news there was a segment on banning all communication devises including hands free from commercial vehicles because a trucker was on his hands free phone while crossing railroad tracks and was hit by a train in Baltimore last year. Funny thing the fact that shrubs blocked drivers view of the tracks was quickly mentioned as a side note.

Did they mention how bad the companies record was? and the fact that the feds had not been keeping up with their checkups? 
There claiming because of his accident that none of us, CDL , can drive and talk! How many motor vehicle accidents occur due to this? Half the dumd arses can't walk and chew gum at the same time.

Face it, the only time truckers and the trucking industry will be network T.V. worthy is when there is an accident or if it fits into a political agenda.
Remember how firefighters were elevated in status due to 911? Now, do you remember how the airlines were treated? We are merely a necessary annoyance and that will not change any time soon.
