JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

It looks like there are more attorneys than lawsuits and they are going broke.. So now we are that deer in their headlights. I tried to pull the article off the front page but it won't do it. If you have a few minutes you might want to read the article about how trucking needs to be safer. Basically it is from some lawyers group who thinks that truck drivers are nothing but a bunch of killing machines to these poor innocent 4 wheelers. And we have to be stopped ... They think that we need to move all freight on trains. Funny thing. Trains are about 90% or more yo capacity.. They think that we all have millions in the bank .. And they want you to share it with them.NOW. I know as you know we are not serial killers, or have millions in the bank.. But I guess these attorney associations can't address that cars cause most of the truck car accidents. People in cars don't have millions in the bank..
