I spent almost an hour on the middle of the Mississippi River Bridge coming into Baton Rouge, La., Tuesday. It was pelting rain and the traffic was stopped. I couldn't see much because I was surrounded by trucks.
Trucks now dominate the interstates.
Every time I write about trucks on the road I hear from the truckers' lobby in Tallahassee. Most of these guys are not bad drivers. It's just that there are so many of these behemoths you can get intimated rolling down the road in a sedan. If someone makes a mistake, you are the one who is going to get squashed. I'm ready to get home.
