Though it goes without saying, speeding creates a dangerous situation for all drivers on our roads and highways. And while shipping and trucking companies have strict policies to take disciplinary action against truck drivers cited for repeated speeding, it nevertheless still occurs.
As we've all probably experienced, truck drivers – in their haste to get their job done and frustrations concerning the amount of hours they work – can be quite aggressive. They sometimes seem to forget that they are manning a potentially dangerous weapon when behind the wheel. No doubt, the fact that the other drivers are usually on the losing end in truck collisions contributes to their sometimes lack of regard for their fellow drivers. Speeding and aggressive driving, unfortunately, characterizes many truck drivers.
