Trucker Concerns. Truck drivers concerns are on the rise in the industry. Truck drivers are concerned about a few things above the rest. One of those concerns is autonomous trucks. Truckers are starting to fear for their futures and rightly so. Self driving trucks are reported to be coming along faster than originally thought. A truck driver with no more skill than driving across country for a living could be seeing their last generation of human piloted tractor-trailers. If the filthy rich have their way, truck drivers will be a thing of the past. On the trucking podcast we talked about this and all the other concerns that truckers are most concerned about. You can find the podcast on most podcast platforms like Apple Podcast, Stitcher, Podbean, Google Podcast and any where a podcast host is you can find TalkCDL Trucking Podcast.
Speed Limiters. Another issue truckers are concerned with is speed limiters. From what we are hearing the authorities are calling for a national speed set for all semi-trucks. The speed that is rumored is 65mph. Many truckers are concerned with the safety of other drivers being a split speed limit between four wheeled vehicles and either wheeled vehicles could pose a safety risk for the general public. The other issue is slower speed means more man hours to get the already tiresome job of delivering freight across the country done.
Truck Driver Arrested
Trucker CONCERNS. A truck driver was arrested at the Golden Spike Travel Plaza in Tremonton. An unnamed tanker driver was attempting to deliver fuel to the truck stop when another semi truck blocked the gas tanks, preventing him from delivering the fuel and completing the job. The tanker driver claims he asked the other driver, Danny Jerome Johnson, to move his rig, but Johnson became “belligerent.” After an argument between the two broke out, the tank driver claims that Johnson grabbed a sharp edged pipe from his rig and attacked him. He claims Johnson then fled the scene. Later on the highway patrol stopped and arrested Johnson.
