I think it is time to send back there messages and tell them how there not printing the truth but what they hear. And what they hear is not from a driver.And it is pretty easy via the web. To any and all newspapers and web sites let them know of the articals that are printed and by who . And drivers do need to get a headset on before we lose out on our phones over this electronic in trucks. I see to many drivers still with that phone plasterd to his or her head.

Just like bikers images , it alwas seems to be the squeakiest wheel that gets seen or the most obnoxious and then the GP thinks to themselves "Oh , so that is what a trucker is like!" and those “Oscars” are usually the ones that the public sees , not the clean , professional driver that is a courteous , unobtrusive driver .

I think the reason for the bikers are given more respect is their image has changed, just as you pointed out. Used to be long haired greasy people, road bikes now everybody does. BTW, yes that was from a song, lol. Anyway, the trucking industry needs to realize "our" image needs to change. I've seen it a million times, drivers who look and smell like they lived in a garbage can. This is why, I say a lot of people look down upon the trucking industry.

In my opinion I think it's because the biker you see roaring thru town may be a doctor at the local hospital , or the police chief , or someone that everyone holds in esteem . Sadly this doesn't and probably will not hold true for truckers as I am thinking that you won't find many "respectable" citizens that are suited for trucking . That is not to say that those of us who do drive aren't respectable Jason , but I am almost positive that you won't find the local police chief or mayor climbing up those steps to park his rear in the drivers seat of a OTR rig and leaving for weeks or months at a time to deliver goods to people whose only thought is about what the next great walmart special will be .
