This has turned into someones personal podium for protesting our form of government. Should have realized this before. It really has nothing to do with introducing a law to save lives on our hiways. Carry on, I'm done with this topic. Not interested in politics.

cheri1122, so what is fuzzy about this. You have something fairly new come onto the market. After a few years you find that it "alone" is causing added DEATHS on our roads. What do you do? Igonore it and watch more and more innocent people die or do something that will reduce the number of...

So turtle, if what you say is true, we should not have laws that deal with speeding? That there should not be a law dealing with going through a stop sign, or getting a ticket for not having chains on when going down the mountains outside of Reno in a snow storm. These laws are made to protect...

No, scuba does not make a good point, if he is promoting the use of cell phones while driving. Tell me if I'm correct scuba. Are you saying (as a member of the Panther driver council) it is safe to operate a truck while using a cell phone or looking at a lap top and you feel everyone has the...

That was a very nice post. I know every officer would feel honored to read it. I will pass it along to some of my old friends on the force. This has been a very tough week for Law Enforcement. I read today where we lost 3 more in Penn. thank you, BIG JOHN

What a well thought out post scuba. I am talking about banning items we all lived without "WHILE DRIVING" that is now killing people. I'm sure you would be singing a different tune if a child of yours was killed by some idiot using a cell phone while talking about what to wear to the dance...

Cell phones, now you did it, back on my main topic. BAN THE USE BY DRIVERS. Not only has a close friend (also a husband and father) been killed because a driver was using her cell phone (running a red light) but it is a reported fact, that hundreds are being killed now each year, due to...

A statement was made about numbers not being fair. Something like there would be 5,000 T/T trucks to every 5 Expediters. Well, we ran down hiway 59/77 in Texas the other day (about 300 miles) and I'm sure we saw a couple hundred trucks and maybe 3 times as many cars. Guess what, we passed a...

I feel the sameway. Great people. that are making a tremendous self sacrifice, giving opinions. BIG JOHN

hiway star, I wish it was that the "minority" was the law breaking drivers. Unfortunationally the minority are the safe drivers. That goes for 4 wheelers as well. I spent time in Law Enforcement (now somemore will dislike me) and it is a fact. On any given day I could set up on our local...

No, I will give total numbers and break it down by states. Like this, I was passed by 0 Expediters while going the speed limit in Ill., Ind., and Ohio (all big Expediter markets) but was passed by 100 T/T drivers (speeding). Now if I was reporting from the states of New Mexico and Arizona, you...

OK, can a non smoker give an opinion, if it is NOT anti smoking?:) BIG JOHN

I guess there are those that feel better about themselves when they think they are the best at something and there are those that don't care if they are the best. Both are just fine. It is not patting ourselves on the back when we express our feelings and for certain I am not saying I'm a...

While on the subject of bad driving habits, maybe it would be entertaining to share the strangest thing we have seen a driver do. Please, nothing sexual.:p Mine would have to be the time I saw a co-driver and driver (female-male) change positions in a T/T Volvo. No, not while it was parked...

When I first posted this I forgot one important thing. I was talking over the last 8 years (since I started noticing Expediters) Something that always had me wondering (when I was T/T over the road) was why those expediters were going so slow. Now I know. When dead heading or relocating, we...
