StopBiggerTrucks.org Press Conference - 1 of 2

Grieving families of truck crash victims from across the country are joined by safety advocates to launch the new StopBiggerTrucks.org campaign telling Congress to reject any size and weight increases for trucks traveling on U.S. highways and bridges. The group also issued a new state-by-state study ranking the deadliest states for fatal truck crashes.

What about stopping hit and run truckers? My son was killed, murdered in my opinion, by a trucker that chopped him into so many pieces he was laid to rest with no clothes;. 4 hours later calls to say I may have hit something, "something!?!" he knew damn well he hit someone because he called to say WHERE he hit someone. not to mention his headlight was knocked out, from hitting my son. My son had two baby girls a one yr old and a 3 yr old.

Ask the railroads, who are the big financiers behind these campaigns, just how many people they've killed while they resist safety regulations. Take a look at Joan Claybrook's history. As a member of the Carter administration, she advanced the only safety regulation to have been REVOKED because it actually KILLED people.
