Americas View of Truckers

Americas View of Truckers. I came across an article that depicted the trucking industry and the American Trucker as just pure criminal. The article showed how most people view truckers and their lifestyle. I had forgot how the public looks at you, when you tell them you are a trucker, until I read this story.
You would think, the public would respect what men and women go through every day in trucking. But it is just the opposite. They dont honor the men and women that stay on the road for countless weeks and months at a time. It's just the opposite. They're opinion is, most of the times, low, mixed with fear of the working class road warriors.
All this animosity towards truckers just might be something we brought on ourselves. You heard of "one bad apple spoils the whole bunch", right? Well, this goes for trucking also. Most truck drivers are not bad people, we give respect and are watching out for the general public on the road. But all you need, is that one guy, thats driving reckless with 72 feet of truck, and it scares everyone. All you need is that one driver, that idles his truck all night, keeping, in his own neighborhood, and we are all disrespectful. All you need, is that small group of drivers, to piss up a Walmart parking lot, and we are all pigs. This is how it happens folks.
Man Acquitted of Killing 7 Motorcyclist
I remember it like it was yesterday. In 2019, it was all over the news. How a young man killed a bunch of people riding their motorcycles in New Hampshire. The story talked about how it was all the truckers fault. After spending almost the entire time since then, the trucker was set free, after the verdict was read.
While on trial, evidence showed, this trucker had been using heroine and other hard core drugs, the day of the accident. But it showed other things too. Apparently, some of the motorcycle riders were past the legal limit of alcohol in their system. All a good lawyer needs to do, is create doubt in the jurors minds. It seems, this is what happened.
Witness accounts showed how the trucker was driving erratic, weaving back and forth on this 2 lane road. But all you have to do is make the jury think, there is a chance it wasn't the accused fault, and "not guilty" can be the result. Tune in and hear the breakdown of this tragedy.
