On my website I make it clear that trucks can, do and
should 'own the roads.' Most truckers are far more courteous than the average automobile driver; they have a good view of the road because they are so much higher in their cabs, and they are hauling goods and services most of us want; not a bunch on snifflin' little urchins to a local mall.
Long before drivers turned cell phones into just another distraction, truckers used their CBs to call in accidents, disabled vehicles, hazardous road conditions, and what have you.
