Yeah. Nothing scares me more than trucks on the road. I've had close calls, heard about many close calls, seen them drive like shit thousands of times. I haven't seen body parts myself but some of the accidents I've seen make me think they were not survivable. I've also known people who work on crashed trucks and the stories are pretty disturbing (amount of blood left in the truck, etc).

Trucks generally clog up the highway and it's clear to me from the many times I've seen them ride side by side for miles, preventing anyone from passing them, that they communicate and see non commercial/smaller vehicles as being a problem to unite against. I've seen truly unhinged driving from truck drivers. I can sometimes feel for them because it's gotta be a tough job, on the other hand they can easily kill me and I find myself wondering how much they think about that. We surely don't need rules relaxed which help abate those kinds of driving problems. We need less trucks on the roads and a better rail system. It's hard to imagine any of these needs being addressed in the US though. We cannot all even agree that law enforcement shouldn't be murdering and disappearing US citizens right now... :(
