43 SCARY STUFF!
Commercial drivers [the one’s who drive for hours every day and make their living that way] have a long list of things that they have to do to maintain their safety and good driving habits.

This says nothing about their vehicle pretrips, safety courses and evaluations that they have to do on a regular bases.
When these drivers neglect to keep their safety standards up, they become a hazard to themselves and everyone around them and many times a lot of those drivers are not up on their driving skills.
Now, just remember these things the next time you’re meeting or passing one of these transport trucks and give them a little more attention for your own safety. They are big enough to kill you and your passengers quickly.
Scary stuff? You bet but you can do something about it; drive safely.
