CB’S PLUS TROY SOLVED THE PARKING PROBLEM, YAY. Here is Troy’s solution. If every city was obligated to provide a resting area with all the amenities for truckers, based on their volume of inbound/outbound freight. For example if a city has 1000 loads per day coming into their city, they would be obligated to provide 1000 parking spaces free of charge. Truck drivers that are under strict rules and regulations should not have to be responsible to adhere to crazy rules and at the same time be burdened to find a place to rest which again is mandatory. If each city was obligated by the same government that imposes guidelines and rules on truck drivers, would impose rules on those cities that are getting rich and taking advantage of the rigs bringing commodities to them. It would equal out the burden put on the trucker. Why should a city receive freight with open arms only to tell our truck drivers they should fend for themselves once the trucker has served them their purpose. This should change and never swing back to burden he working man with this issue ever again.
CB’s are back?
Recently a driver wrote in to TalkCDL to thank us for the big push we have on CB’s. He told us how he was on I75 in Florida when an accident happened. He said the back-up on the interstate was very long. He realized that drivers coming up over the hill where the back-up had ended would blind the drivers and they would;d not be able to stop. So the driver started warning others drivers on his CB and long behold many drivers received the message via CB. Some tanked him and told him he saved their life. One driver was not so lucky, a Heartland driver did not have his CB turned on and had to swerve to miss the stopped traffic. He went into a field but kept the truck and trailer upright. When the warning driver had retuned 2 hours later he said the Heartland driver was being pulled out of the mud. He thanked us and wanted us to know that he was a 2 million safe driver. His name is William Johnson who works for Crete Carrier Corp.
