Default Knights ot Nightmares of the Road?

They're sometimes called the knights of the road. But if you believe a new report, some of them may be more like nightmares. They're improperly trained truck drivers who pilot those big rigs that barrel past you on the highway. And according to the current rules, almost anyone can get a license to drive one without actually stepping behind the wheel of a full-sized tractor trailer to prove their competence.

Licensing for big rigs is unregulated in Ontario, and many believe an influx of unskilled drivers is leading to tragic results on the roads.

I don't care what you have to do,or where you get your CDL.
You only learn how to pass the driving skills ,and written test to hold a piece of paper that says you are qualifide to drive.
Everything after that point comes from on the job traning.
Experence is,and has always has been the best teacher.

Just because you have a piece of paper that says you can drive,it doesn't mean you actually know how.

According to the law we ""truck-drivers"" are considered ""un-skilled labor""..I assume all those problems come with lack of skill...See post above real experience = skill hmmm well maybe....
