“It’s not only parking, restaurants, and bathrooms. It is also personal safety.”

Yep, as big as they are, there is nothing around them to actually protect them in an accident. They are all fiberglass and plastic to reduce weight. Been in the heavy haul wrecker business all my life and I have picked up countless wrecks where nothing was left but the truck frame/drive train, a steering wheel sticking up, and a seat with a mangled driver still belted in. Nothing else, the rest is gone.

So sad to read.

Actually, I hadn’t occurred to me that the structure of the truck cabs was unsafe. I was thinking about crime.

Thank you for making aware of this safety problem.

When I was in college a friend and I were driving on a major freeway late at night. We were getting pretty tired.

Then, in front of us, a semi started wobbling, and it eventually fell on it's side and sparks were flying off of it. I to looked like a toy going over. It was scary, and we were wide awake after that. Never forgot it.
