Last decade or so truckers seem to gotten so much worse at driving, I would be interested in seeing the stats if they track traffic incidences by vehicle type.
Seems all the experienced guys are retiring and the new guys have no idea what they’re doing
It’s not so much the quality of the drivers … it’s the quantity
If you have a hundred drivers and you say that 1 percent of them are bad drivers … you have one bad driver
If you have a thousand, now you have ten
There are now an estimated 400,000 trucks dedicated to just transporting good on the highway and if you were to say that 1 percent of them were bad drivers … that’s 4,000 bad drivers riding trucks on the highway
Compared to what the highways were like 20, 30, 40 years ago … the highways have literally become rail networks with thousands of trucks everywhere with drivers pushing the limits of the regulations because they make little to no money as drivers
