Another professional driver at fault, probably. So sad.

After 38 years of driving for a living, both out of Prince George and Kelowna I find it disgusting and sad that so many accidents involving Semi’s. Last night Tractor trailer closes Coq. Week ago again, Big truck causes accident on Hwy 1 without winter tires or chains. Things have to change. Start pulling driver’s licenses. Make our roads safe.

smaller Canadian trucking companies that have been around for years can't compete with the south east asian trucking companies that under price everyone and cut costs anyway they can.
they have 3 drivers but only one has a liicense, when stopped he jumps behind the wheel
maintenance is not done, the trucks are filthy, the engines and transmission are covered with 2 inches of grease no wonder there are fires.

We seem to hear about fatal accidents involving semi trucks every few days. Is anybody keeping track of what is going on?
