Are you a Big-Rig Hypermiler ?...

[Lonestar10]

the reason accidents like that happen.

1 - companys drivers and o/o feel the truck is big and bulky and dont figoure theyll get fataly hurt if they get in a wreck at higher travel speeds on unsafe conditions leading to no fear of the road creating increased low visibility speeds.

2 - company drivers arent out anything if they wreck the truck the company will just give them another leading to drivers not giving 2 shits about the equipment

3 - ELDs - nuff said. i love mine for ease of use but it makes you drive when your tired and supposidly sleep when your not. many changes need to be made here for responsible drivers and more severe consequences after those changes made for those who break the rules.

4 - shi#t companies having no compensation for drivers who can be stuck in trucks for days due to a storm....O/Os...well you took the risk of owning your equip and the consequences of it sitting. but company drivers are pushed by dispatch and their 10 penny paycheck to keep moving.
