The failure of truck driver training? The driver in question said it was a high wind that pushed him into an oncoming lane on a curve where he then ran head on into a group of motorcyclists. The real question might be, why was was he driving at all, if the winds were fierce? In spite of all the ELDT training hoopla, it's safe to say drivers get little practical training on safely driving a truck. Some still get none at all. It's easy to prove. Of the thousands of new ELDT training providers, the FMCSA has found fault with only a handful. Cursory or perfunctory trainers (the old "CDL Mills") can easily undercut the diligent training providers. Subpar drivers will always reveal their hand. Unfortunately, as in the vid below, they might take unsuspecting members of the public with them . . . #safetrucking #ELDT #truckinsurance https://lnkd.in/g95ECxBB
