SSS-random

Rolling down the interstate on a morning after a heavy rain making the world look like it was scrubbed clean by Mom last night, I stay relaxed but constantly aware of traffic around me, especially the big guys, meaning the tractor trailers that dwarf my little, red Mazda II that I love so much.

They generally tend to be good drivers but still they have to see (meaning me) in order to be road…

Let’s learn proper backing from C.R. England! With the stellar reputation that carrier has, clearly they’re the ones we need to be taking pointers from. Which is why they’re in such an authoritative position to tell you and me that we’re not safe drivers if we don’t have EOBRs, ELDs, and trucks governed no faster than 65 in order to be safe.

Driving time/distance relative to level of education, survey says.

According to a recently released joint survey from the American Automobile Association (AAA) Foundation for Traffic Safety and the Urban Institute, the average distance and time spent driving increase in relation to higher levels of education. A driver with a grade school or some high school education drives an average of 19.9 miles and 32 minutes daily, while a college graduate drives an average of 37.2 miles and 58 minutes.

The study, which observed motorists’ driving patterns from May 2013 through May 2014, revealed other interesting statistics, including:

Women take more driving trips, but men spend 25 percent more time behind the wheel and drive 35 percent more miles than women.

Drivers, on average, make two driving trips per day, taking an average of 46 minutes.

The average number of household vehicles (2.1) was greater than the average number of drivers in households (1.8).

Motorists in the South drive the most (11,826 miles annually) of any section in the country, while those in the Northeast drive the least (8,468 miles per year).

Teenagers and seniors over the age of 75 drive less than any other age group; motorists 30-49 years old drive an average of 13,140 miles annually, more than any other age group.

Am I Crazy For Thinking This?

Okay... not specifying any company here, but those of us in the industry of course know about lease-purchase programs.. at the very least, the basics of them.

Well, some companies leased used trucks, vs., say, Swift, where you lease a brand new truck and make massive payments on it.

So, if you're leasing a used truck which has probably paid for itself already, is it absurd of me to think that the lessee should, at the very least, get new tires and brakes all around, and new batteries? I mean, the tires and batteries can be reissued as used and put on company vehicles. Just my $.02 worth, anyhow.

Still Doing It Wrong...

Werner - We Employ Rookies, No Experience Required

Crash & Roll Stunt Team, doing a maneuver known as the hook & drop.

Marten truck roasting on an open fire..

U-turn... you're doing it wrong.

Alcohol abuse.

Holy shit! I bet this set someone back emotionally a couple decades! Seriously... how in the hell did they pull this one off? I'm sure this driver was thankful to come out of that one alive... and I''m thankful for him.

Yep... those clearances can be a motherfucker...

Yeah, I know it's another coolie carrier truck from USA Truck, but everyone who drives a big truck fears getting caught in a situation like this.. a fucked up road, and no real choice of which way to go. I don't give a fuck if you're brand new or an old hand.

Plenty of backronymns for England... Every New Guy Leaves a New Dent, Every New Guy Leaves After 90 Days, etc. If ever there was a company which made Swift look good (other than FedEx Ground), C.R. England is the one.

Off-roading... you done fucked up.

This is why we call them the Crash & Roll Stunt Team.

See why I decided to hang it up? Asshole four wheelers and asshole truck drivers. Fuck...

On a side note, I love the "Trucker Daily Fail" group on Facebook. If it had corporeal form, there's a good chance I'd want to make love to it.

Kentucky goes after unsafe rigs

Whenever a commercial vehicle is involved in a crash, due to their sheer weight advantage over passenger vehicles, the chances of someone being killed increase dramatically.

In July of 2010, a division of the Kentucky State Police known as Commercial Vehicle Enforcement, joined with Indiana and Ohio enforcement personnel in a multi-state effort aimed at improving the safety of the interstate system specifically relating to commercial vehicles (primarily semi-trucks).

The main issues targeted for safety compliance concerned tractor-trailers, International Fuel Tax (IFTA) violations and vehicle over-weight violations. In one 24 hour period, fifty-one tickets and 21 warnings were issued for over-weight violations, and 14 tickets and 10 warnings were issued for fuel tax violations. State troopers also targeted drivers of passenger vehicles who were driving in an unsafe manner around commercial vehicles.

During the 24 hour enforcement period in Kentucky, of 395 commercial motor vehicles inspected, 161 traffic citations and 24 warnings were written. Of the 395 commercial vehicles inspected, 627 violations were discovered and 25 drivers and 75 vehicles were placed out of service.

Rogue trucking companies that do not follow the safety rules do exist. Their negligence is often hidden behind broken regulations and disregard for accepted practices....issues that not every lawyer is familiar with handling on a regular basis. So, it is important to contact an attorney that specializes in these types of cases. Contact Michael Greene to discuss your case.
