As a retired professional driver of 33 years, 3 million miles with no accidents, I took pride in the way I drove and knew I was on display every mile. You can't miss an 18 wheeler.
Drivers today don't seem to care. If they get fired for doing something stupid another company will put them in a truck. Drivers are in such short supply that some companies will hire anyone with a CDL.
I hope they pull her CDL and see that she never gets another one.
That being said, driver training as a whole leaves a LOT to be desired. I rode with my Grandson shortly after he got his license and was appalled at some of the things he did. Following to close, speeding, rolling stops, driving in the left lane,etc. I spent about six hours with him trying to correct all the bad habits that his paid driver training did nothing about. He told me that most of what I taught him wasn't even mentioned in his classes. I guess he would qualify for a CDL, he knows how many pounds in 6 tons.
