Reply #11: Well I'm just a car driver but I think safety should come first [View All]

It's hard to see how a driver ending 11 hours on the road wouldn't be tired. :shrug:

My son worked in a freight yard for several years until he lost his job about 6 months ago. He said repeatedly that he had never seen an industry that was so desperately in need of a union. He was appalled by how badly some of the drivers were treated. He also talked a lot about how easy it was to lose your CDL. One guy was suspended when a car cut him off on a ramp and his load tipped over. Turned out it was also not loaded correctly and had shifted. But the driver was penalized.
