Ah well... it's easy to whine and point fingers at trucks... But did any of you ever consider the fact that without trucks you could say bye bye to your luxurious way of life?

I will not deny that there are some real cowboys driving trucks out there, but that's just a small number compared to the majority of drivers who do their job without flaws.

And yes, I know no one is perfect and a truckdriver also makes mistakes. Example: A designer in a factory that makes coffee machines designs a new model, this new coffee machine goes in mass production but each and every one of them has a design flaw and they can't be sold. Sure the guy might get fired but it ends there and no one will ever know about it.

But when a truck driver makes a mistake and his truck ends up in a ditch next to the road, it will be on every news broadcast and in every paper.

I am on the road with my truck every day and I can tell each and every one of you that I could do at least 4 accidents a day because of a car driver who cuts me off or suddenly hits the brakes while they're in front of me.

Yours sincerely, a responsible young truckdriver.

Very well said.
Ever notice there can be 30 car accidents in a day that do not make news, but 1 truck is involved, and it is front page?

As to good bye to "luxurious way of life?" say good bye to everything. There is not 1 household item that is not delivered/transported by a truck to where you purchase it.
