U.S. Cars, Trucks Require Collision Prevention Systems U.S. Safety Officials Say – Supply Chain 24/7

These systems actually work well. I had one in my Lexus IS 250 and it was wonderful. Useful also were the Lane Keeper and the cameras.  Trucks and other vehicles should all have them.

Drivers wanted (desperately)

Posted on May 27, 2015 by | Leave a comment

Here is evidence of a truck driver shortage.  There are some interesting numbers on the site. Truckers average only $41,930 a year in salary.  and the turnover rate is 96%.  so folks don’t stay long in one job, and possibly leave trucking altogether.

It’s time to take care of our truckers! Make their work easier.
