I am of the belief that with the PROPER equipment, and experience, that higher speeds are not any more of an accident waiting to happen than lower speeds.

Is that why the DOT estimates that more than 1,115 lives would be saved by a max speed of Truckers to 68mph.The truckers for the most part have the right equipment and they have the experience and training along with the medical card to be on the road.

So truckers kill at least 1,115 people driving 68+ and that was the cause of the accident? No wonder there are so many sue the trucking company ads on daytime tv. Wouldn't it be cheaper the set a speed limit for truckers or are they not really professionals that can police themselves?

more than likely the cause of the accident was some fool invading the truckers safe space that caused the accident....not the trucker....anyone who has towed an RV more than 50 feet has experienced the morons on the road ....those folks who have no idea how to merge into traffic from the on ramp or are to stupid to anticipate their exit and shoot across 3 lanes of traffic to get to the exit or decide the exit was the wrong one and begin to back up... and on and on ad nauseum........so many of the folks involved in accidents were actually the unsuspecting victims of an idiot violating not only traffic laws but common sense as well.....yep, you can't fix stupid
