Comments on: Are Semi-truck Drivers Making The Highways Unsafe http://doranroggio.com/archives/265 Tue, 13 Dec 2011 16:12:54 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Doran Roggio http://doranroggio.com/archives/265/comment-page-1#comment-80 Doran Roggio Fri, 14 Oct 2011 13:01:49 +0000 http://doranroggio.com/?p=265#comment-80 Thank you for your comment, Alex. While I agree, many truck drivers have problems today with courtesy on the road and coming out of prison, I am hesitant to call a whole group of people 'the underbelly of America's society. There are still many good individuals who drive truck, many law abiding family men trying to support their families. The article was meant only to highlight how the occupation as a whole has progressed since I was a young driver. Thank you for your comment, Alex.

Its not a very glamours job, its basically on the bottom of the blue collar work force. Some of them have criminal records, sleep with prostitues on the back of their cab of the semi, and carry handguns. Unfortunately, semi truck drivers have become the underbelly of America's society.

Overcrowding certainly makes for more stress, especially for drivers with a tight schedule. This could easily translate into tension making drivers far less courteous. Good point Michael.

The more crowding, the more lack of courtesy. One of the reasons I do not live in a big, crowded city.
