Having a child, parent or spouse injured or killed in a big rig crash is a devastating loss. But we can do something to help prevent it. If you value the safety of your family and friends on the road, you should be against the use of LCVs in your state. You, the motorist. As a voter and taxpayer, you can help prevent the spread the use of LCVs.
State legislatures have the most direct control over LCVs.
Currently sixteen states are suffering from local LCV operation. The American Trucking Association wants to make LCVs legal in all fifty states - including yours. If you and your family use public highways and interstates, then you are at risk from LCVs. LCVs pose much more of a threat than do smaller trucks. They destroy pavement and bridges at a faster rate, costing you, the taxpayer, money.
