Guns And Big Trucks

Today's Thoughts 6/7/12 Guns And Big Trucks
By Jeff Head
The same just in case you did not notice, the way they talk about guns and truckers that is. Did you ever notice that the people that do not like guns only report and slash about the bad numbers concerning guns? You know, yada yada number of people were killed by some kind of gun last year and that is why we need to regulate or ban them right out of existence. Somehow, you never hear about how many lives were saved by the proper and legal use of a gun. Nope, that number never seems to make it into the process.

The same thing with trucks if you think about it. Yada yada number of people were killed by trucks last year. Ok, I am game. Anyone want to take a guess at how lives were saved last year by the professional actions of professional truck drivers? Just like guns, the true number will never be known. Most people will not inform the police that they drew their pistol to save their life just like a trucker does not report every time they maneuver their truck to save the life of some driver that probably never even realized they came within seconds of death.

Maybe we should start doing just that. Informing the FMCSA and other entities that seem to think we are out here to kill as many people as we can each day just how many times each day we save a life. Just make up a form, fill it out with details and send it to them at the end of each week. Just guessing at it but I bet the numbers will soon prove that we trucks are doing our jobs when it comes to highway safety. They will never admit it I am sure, but what the heck, it will give them something to read other then the funnies.
