Every year hundreds of over the road and even local Truck Drivers lose their life to an accident while driving. Many of these accidents are caused by motorists who just were not paying attention. In many cases it is discovered that the Truck Driver gave his/her own life to avoid killing a family in a car. PLEASE give way to large trucks. It takes approximately 10 times the stopping distance (on flat dry ground) to stop a big truck as it does your car. Please watch this video and be careful out there on America's Highways!

  • Everone needs to show respect for each other on the road. Passenger vehicles must understand how long it can take for an 18-wheeler to yield to you. Truckers, please be aware of those who have no respect for anyone on the road and who are ignorant regarding semi-truck operations. Other drivers - calm down on the road - there is noting so important that you can't drive safely with regard to others. No one needs to lose their life........jsjohnson

  • My dad and my husband are both truckers. Please slow down and be safe out there. I want my family safe and whole at the end of the day.... as well as all your families. God Bless...
