Its the most dangerous on the roads its ever been. I have to drive from one side of the country to Oklahoma about once a year. And I just wish we had fucking trains for that.
Covid brain and now you have trucks who have to drive longer with shorter breaks. It reminds me of when Well There Your Problem was on Work stoppage talking about the derailment epidemic.
There is almost always a wrecked semi on the road anymore. Hell we were just going to the bigger city for some shit and there was a semi literally smoking the road out cause something was on fire. Dude didn't even know. We had to roll our windows down and point to the back of his truck.
With more young people unable to find work you'll get drivers that have little experience driving of any type that are being thrown into big rigs also. At my job we got a delivery from a driver who was brand new, in college probably around 20, driving a full size trailer truck, he had just broken off one of the trailer doors backing up with it open. He was totally unconcerned and hopped out asking us "where's a good book store around here? My girlfriend wants me to grab her something while I'm in town." It was wild.
