Thats a pretty incredible mileage jump, but isnt worth it to me

When I'm in my personal vehicle, I dont wanna look at the backside of a truck any longer than I have to... its much better to be able to see the road ahead IMO

I understand the margins can be tight, but sheeish. They spend what, a 100K or something on a rig and untold thousands on gas and can't spend a few grand to trick it out with cameras? If it dropped the accident rate by a few percentage points it seems like it would pay for itself without even counting loss of life.

They don't put gas in trucks.

I've never looked into them. I don't know how they would affect margins. I think the real problem is that a fleet may have a whole pile of trailers and a few trucks. It may not be that bad to get on the truck, but outfitting a shitload of trailers would be expensive. Then making sure some methed up forklift driver doesn't smash the shit out of them once they're on the trailer.

My truck was a 2014 Pete 579. It had a sensor on the front that would beep if you're too close to someones tail, eventually if you got too close it would apply 1/3 braking power automatically......and then send a nice message to your safety department. Never had the brakes auto engage thankfully but did had one hard braking event I had to explain. Basically someone whipping g around me only to immediate cut in fro t of me to brake and exit . That guy probably saved a whopping 1 secind off his time, but nearly got smashed by me hauling 40000 lb steel coil secured suicide style. Which would've probably killed me too.

I forget but I think they told us at orientation that our trucks were $200k then they add an additional $20k in goodies from Peterbilt. Black leather, tv, Sirius , chrome everywhere etc. No idea if those figures were true but that's what they told us. Said if you hit anything within your first year, you're gone. Lol.

[QUOTE=scho63;12332561]Truck drivers have such a low accident rate compared to the rest of the driving public. I forget the stats I saw a few years ago about CDL drivers but it was staggering. Something like non-CDL drivers had a 380% greater accident rate based on mileage driven.

The one area that CDL drivers have a high cause rate for accidents is driver fatigue. They are substantially higher percentage as a CAUSE compared to non-CDL.[/QUOTE

]That's because they run people off the road and while the car is crashing into said tree the Big Rig just keeps on trucking. The stats are decieving

I work with drivers every day. A majority of people wouldn't be able to do this job. I have respect for the truck driver. They sacrifice a lot to provide for their families.

I saw a trucker the other day whose left leg was at least ten times bigger than his right. And it was a funny color.

Don't know how he ever used a clutch

To clarify, this was a highway with 2 lanes going in my direction.
I have pointed this out to my wife time and time again when traveling...I'm like "There's no freakin' way this is a coincidence..." Assholes...feel like passing them and slamming on my brakes and then gunning it to not get killed and give them a nice little dose of adrenaline...
