Not sure if referring to someone as a professional driver alone can prevent them from using cocaine and smoking marijuana? The truck driver made the choice to use drugs and drive.

Dude. You just stated you fall asleep while driving. Time to give up what you do for a living and change careers. Save the next kid, the next dad or mother.

You reallly didn't pay attention, Texas has no requirements to drive that truck, that includes a CDL.

@lfrankl53 Месяц назад

@@ShionWinkler You misunderstood something. They said that unlike other heavy commercial vehicles, concrete pump truck drivers are exempt from on-duty and driving hours in TX (which is absurd) and the company owner isn't required to know and enforce safety laws for their drivers. Regardless of the lack of working hour requirements, those driver's must have a CDL based on weight alone as those trucks can weight three times the minimum required for a CDL in TX.

I was a concrete pump operator for 23 years and yes those trucks are excempt from logs. I would work 80,90 sometimes 100 hrs a week. These companies dont care about safety they only want to make money and if the driver falls asleep behind the wheel and kills somebody the company will says its the drivers fault. But if the driver says hes to tired to drive they will leave him home for a week or more as punishment or fire him and find someone else who will keep his mouth shut and do what they say.

@@singmysong1167 Do you really believe truck drivers who are regulated follow those rules? I know truckers who STILL drive more hours than they are supposed to and go over by 20 to 40 hours a week regularly. They fake log books to make it look legit. Adding regulations won't stop anything, it will just make it a chargeable offense when things go wrong.

@joecummings1260 2 месяца назад

This is a lot of BS from the stupid news media, Concrete pump trucks fall under The 100 air mile exemption. Just like any other commercial truck that stays within a 100 mile radius of home it is exempt from logging in the traditional sense. But they need to carry an exemption log and record the time they start work, and the time they go off duty. They are only allowed to work 12 hours per day. Also they have to obey the same speed limit everyone else does. THE ISSUE IS HE WAS DOING COKE

@johnrambo1349 2 месяца назад

Usually hwy are 60-70 mph. That's what they mean. They don't mean the exact speed limit on that road cause no one drives exactly by the limit. That road people will drive 60-70 mph on average. Some will do 80. Point is, they meant how fast ppl driving on that road. That's why they says 60-70 mph. Use common sense? Lmao

Blaming the whole trucking industry on this tragedy shows ignorance, especially from someone on a safety board! How about the teacher or construction worker that works many hours every day then has to drive home tired? All the training , experience or regulation means nothing when someone is on drugs or alcohol! The trucking industry is one of the most over regulated industry's in this country. Regulations made by people who know very little or nothing about it! Remember: "If you have it a truck brought it!"
