'It's only a moment's mistake:' Truckers witnessing distracted driving

Birmingham, Ala. — “We’re in a congested area. And this is where you can get in trouble sometimes quicker than you can get on an interstate,” says trucker Tommy Giles.


Giles leads orientation for new drivers and drives an 18-wheeler for the Montgomery Transport trucking firm. The company hauls steel, pipe and building materials all over the country.
