Trucking

I am so tired of all the ignorance and prejudice aimed at the “big, bad, truckers wreaking havoc and terror among us humble, law-abiding motorists.”

When a compact car passes in front of an 18-wheeler grossing 70,000 pounds (average loaded weight) then slows down , he better pray!

The average trucker spends all of his waking life driving hundreds of miles a day, and gets paid for it. An inexperienced trucker with a string of tickets will not be hired with any trucking company. And anyone who hasn’t driven a 60-foot long truck, 3,500 miles a week has no room to complain!
