Do you think with less regulation suddenly trucker will be more careless ? The burden that the trucker will pay if they involve in an accident still going to be high, if its not already high and assuming they too do not like to die.
- death
- disabled for life
- life in prison
- monetary damages
- no company will hire you
I believe with less training and lower standards there will be more accidents?
Historically there were less regulations and more accidents. Licensing is only one component of the safety regulations enacted, but again historically yes without these regulations truckers engaged in more risky driving behaviors.
Again it sounds like you are unfamiliar with the industry.
Company can still provide as many training or requiring as high standard as they want.
One way to reduce risky driving behaviors is to impose high penalty/punishment for risky behaviors.
Except you want to remove those regulations that include training and licensure requirements.
Rules already exist to penalize CDl holders for poor driving and they are a higher standard/increased penalties compared to none CDl drivers...what we don’t need is allowing untrained and unlicensed commercial drivers, that in no way will improve driver safety.
yes but the company can still train their trucker as much as they want, the trucker can still get training as much as they want.
>what we don’t need is allowing untrained and unlicensed commercial drivers
These untrained trucker won't get hired, do you think you will want to hire untrained trucker ? Regarding the unlicensed, why not ? provided they can prove that they can do the job well and has good track record ?
Regulation creates a barrier, sure - a good barrier is one which requires training, practices, and equipment to promote safety.
Likewise, with high regulation, there still people who drive recklessly.
Regulation creates a barrier, so its not easy for newcomer to enter and compete.
Becoming a good trucker still requires training, practices, and equipment to promote safety regardless of regulation.
