What went wrong with truck driver training?

The government and the companies don’t want drivers with years of experience because they know too much.

Over the last few months I have been noticing a larger number of photos surfacing on the internet of trucks in precarious position due to driver error. The two most common types of photo I see are those involving a driver who misjudged a turn and ran over something with the trailer tires, the other type is bridge strikes.Truck turns 1

Truck Drivers Speak, Nobody Listens

They’ve always had people with no practical knowledge of the industry setting rules for something of which they are ignorant.

haggardon18's avatarHaggardon18

Every recent discussion regarding the many issues within the trucking industry today has included at some time these words “is anyone listening?” The FMCSA, MCSAC, and DOT have all made claims that they listen to input from all parties involved, they even set up listening sessions and surveys that were promoted as their agencies listening to the concerns of the professional truck driver.
