I use to practically live on the road, now it is one or two 300 mile trips per week plus round here.
Semi Drivers have the attitude "you can stop faster than I can",I use my signal, I'm not asking you to back off and let me in I'm saying I'm coming."
Then trucking companies semis are usually governed at 65 or 68, or whatever. Independents can run 110. I saw one hauling big red tractors clocked at 110, in 2003.
Quite often we see them on cellphones. First wee see them weaving,on to the shoulder, then the other lane, and up and down on speed.
Pass them and sure enough on the cellphone, even seen them texting.
I don't have a count on this stretch off I24 of semi involved wrecks, often two semis and both sides of Interstate closed down. The guard rails are under constant repair. Very seldom an auto involved.
Saw enough wrecks and deaths from gators being slung off or already blocking the lane. Had to have three cars repaired from gators.
A common feature of the Interstates is gators and fragments of.
The companies are responsible and Independents too.
Company Trailers where Drivers just pick up the van are responsible for billions in auto damages and countless deaths. Old out of date tire carcasses and cheaper rethreads. The comeback of the high costs of new tires is not allowed.
Our Insurance rates are higher, and our fuel Taxes for Hwy Depts to pick up tens of thousands of gators and fragments each day, are all the responsibility of the Trucking Industry. And their Lobby is so strong nothing has or will be done about the death and destruction they cause on the roadways.
