Each year more than 44,000 people die on the roadways throughout North America

“In large truck crashes where one or more deaths result from the crash, 88 percent of the time it is attributable to driver error by both car and truck drivers. Operation Safe Driver will have a razor sharp focus on targeting and taking aggressive enforcement action for poor decisions made by drivers of commercial vehicles and those 4-wheelers operating unsafely around them,” said Stephen F. Campbell, Executive Director of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA). “We are also rolling out education and awareness strategies to combat this epidemic. Far too many deaths are occurring, and it is unacceptable to stand by and watch the carnage continue.”

Road traffic injuries are the leading cause of death worldwide among young people aged 10-24 years. Each year nearly 400,000 people under 25 die on the world’s roads — on average more than 1000 a day. CVSA, in partnership with the FMCSA; state, provincial, and local law enforcement; and industry launched the campaign last year to combat the number of deaths in crashes involving large trucks and passenger vehicles.

You get paid by the hour.........

How true that is.

If one is late for whatever reason,it is what it is.Unlike OTR truckers we operate in a smaller world,that's no excuse.If one leaves the yard 5 min late,accept that fact and drive accordingly.

Perhaps that's why one is told to always be early,but then again I don't walk on water.The law of averages says it will catch up to you.I for one could not accept the fact I took a life because I was stuipid.

Anyone that doesn't think that is true needs to never drive a truck again
