The author of Congressman Ron Paul's Safer Truck Bill and inventor of the Safety Truck tells how big business and big government combine to harm public safety. Truckers are forced to put safety concerns aside as they must drive excessively long hours and at increasingly higher speeds in order to earn enough to spend time with their families while government subsidized corporations take over this formerly small business industry. Trucking has become the most dangerous occupation in the United States. One in every seven Americans killed on the job is now a trucker. A sober motorist is three times more likely to be killed by a heavy truck than by a drunk driver.
