genec Posted December 24, 2021 Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 And you have to wonder how many of those drivers went thru one of those “Quickie” driver training schools - I hate driving the thruways now because of all the trucks on them. Always worry that the guy behind me driving the 40 ton rig has had almost no training! smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always worry that the guy behind me driving the 40 ton rig has had almost no training! Years ago the factories went to "just in time" production methods as they did in Japan . They didn't want to use up floor space to stock pile parts . So the truckers were on a tight schedule to get there on time . Dropping the speed limit to 105 helped but there were times when traffic slowed you would see a BIG truck's grill on your a-s-s . My son drives a large truck and sees the idiots everyday .
