You can say they pay road tax, but they cause more wear and tear on the roads than your little Honda or whatever. Too many of these truck drivers have the motto 'move over little car over or else'.
When time is money professionalism takes a back seat. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying there are no good truckers, just too few. Get the cowboys off the road. The same goes for car drivers.
i completely agree. lets subsidize the railroads even more so they can build a spur directly to your house. trust me theres not a single trucker out there getting rich. professionalism is about all we have. as for road taxes an average trucking compnay pays more in road and fuel taxes in a month than you would pay in a yr.
