There are too many new drivers on the road that quite frankly have no business being behind the wheel of a big truck. I had an encounter with one such driver that had no idea how to connect, disconnect or operate the jack on his trailer yet he was free to cruise down the highway along side cars full of families in a big truck doing 110 km an hour.
Really Scary stuff.
There are also plenty of good/experienced drivers as well so I don't want to paint them all with the same brush but our licensing system is broken at best. It is too easy to get a class one in Canada and there are numerous examples of corrupt licensing companies as well. Just recently a company that's name has escaped me was hit with large fines for basically selling licenses to fast track drivers into the road.
