What Are The Dangers Of Driving The Big Rigs?........................You Name It People................ And That Is What We Face................ Each And Every Day Out Here..................Its Almost Like Being A Man Of Law Enforcement
Just Like A Cop?.....We Dont Really Know If Were Coming Back....Below Are Some Of The Reasons Of Why

1) ( :Insurance Fraud")................There Are People Out There That Will Suddenly Stop On A Dime In Front Of A Truck... And Of Course.... The Truck Cannot Stop Like A Four Wheeler Can... And The "Four Wheeler?" Gets Hit
Or... The Truck Driver Swerves To Not Hit Him...Goes Off The Road.... And Gets Injured... Or Possibly Gets Killed..(In The Latter Of The Two Scenarios?...The "Four Wheeler?"...Keeps On Going.... And Is Gone

2) (No Reverse) Drivers Do Have A Reverse....But It Cannot Really Be Used Much... As A Driver Cannot See Very Well If He Or She Has Made A Wrong Turn To Back Up...As A Big Truck Needs A Lot Of Room To Be Able To Turn Around? He Or She Must Drive Sometimes Up To 20 Miles To Find A Place To Turn Around...(And God Forbid That That Wrong Turn Doesnt Lead He Or She Into A "Bad Area"....It Could Be The End Of The Line For Them...(If You Get My Drift)
Because The Brake Lines From The Tractor To The Trailer? Are Made Of A Sort Of Plastic...And If They Are Cut?
(Which Isnt Very Hard To Do)
Then?...The Trucks Brakes Become Locked..And Youre At The Mercy Of What May Be Outside And Around You

3) ("Robberies")...(This Actually Has Happened Many A Times)....Its Night Time...And Youve Stopped At A Red Light....A Group Of "People" Run Up To Your Truck Throwing Bricks Through All Of Your Windows..In A Flash?
You Have A Gun Put To Your Head....You Are On Your Knees Outside With A Gun Pointed At You..(Not Knowing If Youre Going To Live Or Die...While They Rob You Of Every Last Thing That You Have...(Youre Lucky! They Didnt Kill You And "They" All Run Off"

4) ("Run Away Ramps")...When A Truck Loaded With At The Least 40 To 46,000 Lbs (Adding Everything Else? Its A Total Of 78 To 80,000 Lbs. Is Going Down A Grade Thats 2 Miles Or More?...The Truck Driver Must "Stab" The Brakes To Slow It Down Every 10 Seconds Or So
Each Time Those Brakes Start Heating Up...And Eventually The Heating of The Brakes Expands The Hub That The Brakes Go Up Against To Act As Brakes Should....If This Is Done For Too Long?...The Driver Eventually Will Have No Brakes....And The Truck Keeps Picking Up Speed...If The Driver Is Lucky Enough To Not Have Hit Other Cars On The Way Down? He Or She Eventually Gets To The "Run Away Ramp" On The Right Side of The Highway...(The Run Away Ramp? Is A Sand Road That Is About... At The Least? 1 To 2 Feet Of Sand..Which Stops The Truck In About 100 Feet Or So (If The Drivers Heart Hasnt Stopped Before That)

5) "Empty Trailer")...If A Truck Driver Is Going Along On The Highway...And His Trailer Is Empty?....The Trailer Essentially Becomes Like A Boats Sail......And When The Winds Are Blowing Like Hell Out There?...Many A Trucks Have Been Blown Over... And Again.... A Driver Will Get Hurt For Sure.... Or Possibly Killed

These Are Just 5 Of The Many Challenges That Face The Big Rig Drivers
Its Probably One Of The Most Stressful Job In The World..(But Somebody Has Got To Do It...Right?)

I Wrote This For All Of The Drivers Out There (Not To Get Praise From You) And For People Who Dont Understand What Goes With This Job
But Once Again?....Without These Long Distance Truck Drivers Doing This?
Theres Nothing For You People To Get Any Where
