6. Not sure that will help much

Here in Colorado we have had a rash of un-trained, un-licensed, un-insured, non-english speaking semi-drivers causing Major trucking accidents, killing many. When they investigated the Corporation that was employing them, they discovered 48? of their 50? drivers were the same as the ones that were involved in the tragic accidents....

Such situations, of CORPORATIONS hiring these individuals listed above, would not be affected much by clamping down on Truck Driving Schools to any large degree.

Besides, cost cutting by corporations in Truck Maintenance and un-qualified, or inexperienced Drivers, will only become greater, as the economy worsens, with people not able to purchase as much, Over the road trucking will certainly be affected, same as railroads, and air freight............

If MCE reads this, maybe he has some comments on the over the road trucking industry at this time.....
