Greg, you quite often state that one of the biggest problems in our industry/niche is the lack of ability our drivers have (mostly new drivers I assume). Would you please give your thoughts on what you think the licensing requirements should be?
greg said:Having gotten your license by passing a simple written test and then a simple road test doesn't make one an intelligent driver and this is where I think is the biggest problem we have. I came to one conclusion that if the person can't pass a hazmat test, they should not be in the driver seat - the hazmat test is too easy - and if you can't pass that test, how can anyone expect to make decisions to be safe with a truck?
