18. You're welcome.

I noticed, over the last 5 years or so, that I was seeing a lot more young faces behind the wheel of trucks. I am very aware that it is a tough and difficult profession. Hard on bodies and often damaging to health. It also takes a long time to gain expertise. Lack of experience and the knowledge that can come from experience often contributes to accidents. Probably most of the newer drivers haven't learned yet that they need to take the training they were given and put it to work. You definitely understand that. To the commenters upthread: you were not correct in what you said to 2naSalit. Commercial drivers are held to much higher standards than the rest of the motoring public. It is the driver's job to properly adjust their mirrors, check their mirrors about every 8-10 seconds, and be aware of any limitations of the particular mirrors on your vehicle. Rock and roll when checking mirrors, which increases your field of view in the mirrors, and can help you see around blind spots created by the vehicles body. Driving a commercial vehicle is a huge responsibility because their size and weight can do immense damage and they can kill very easily.
