Contributing article: http://bit.ly/1onnE2w Are you as a trucker aware of federal, state and local laws regarding yielding to bicyclists? Quote from article: ----- In another blog post, bike attorney Michael Keating (also a Streetsblog sponsor) said the federal, state, and city legislation makes it clear that it’s a truck driver’s responsibility to prevent this type of crash from happening: 49 C.F.R. Section 383.111 of the Code of Federal Regulations requires a professional driver to recognize and avoid potential hazards at all times around a turning tractor truck. Section 11-1003.1 of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Code states that every driver of a vehicle must 1) always exercise care to avoid colliding with pedestrians and bicyclists, and 2) sound their horn to provide warning of an impending impact. Section 9-16-020 of the Municipal Code of Chicago specifically provides that a motor vehicle should not turn right across the path of a bicyclist traveling in the same direction until it is “clear” and safe to make the turn. This is known as a “right hook.” ----- Source: http://bit.ly/U5uwcP Would you rather be a 'trucker' or a 'transport manager' over an autonomous 'driverless' truck?

Earn More, Save More One of the articles linked above addresses a professional truck driver's concern about his/her truck's maximum speed being cut back by his/her trucking company from 71 mph to 63 mph. This is more than an 11% decrease in the maximum speed he/she can travel that is completely outside his/her control. It means that he/she will have to work longer to move the same amount of freight and still get it done within his/her Hours of Service. Effectively, it is a pay cut. Are you tired of being told how much your time is worth? Don't you feel that you're worth more than your trucking company says you're worth? You can start earning money during the time that you're not driving and not sleeping. Call 800-955-9549 now!
