Hate to jump in late here but for the most part CDL drivers have a sh** load more training than your average motorist , which can get a license by showing up. Yes I agree there are quite a few bozos driving commercial vehicles but you get that in every industry as for drugs I am tested about three times a year randomly so I have no idea when it will happen. Yes there are some unfit drivers but "hundreds of thousands" is complete crap. I would be the first to increase physical requirements but I also think that automobile license standards should be increased as well. I wish I had a nickel for every time I have been cut of by some jerk coming across three lanes of traffic so he doesnt miss his exit. Its a two way street your cars are also capable of inflicting damage. BTW I have over 2 million miles of safe driving in the last 18 years . I also manage about 6000 miles a year on the bike.
