I don't think Rick threw that out there as a hard statistic. I believe he is extrapolating a number based on the volume of miles a professional will do. What he's saying is that your exposure is much greater.
Another consideration is that many states look at trucking companies as a good solid revenue stream.
OS, truer words were never written! I make 2 runs between Cincinnati and Columbus M-F and the State police and DOT are sitting about every 5 miles and that is not an exaggeration! I see countless drivers pulled over daily. Mind you, I go through 2 construction zone each way and see a lot of knuckleheads speeding through them in both cars and truck, and believe they deserve to pay every cent they get in fines! I think that 100 mile stretch of highway is what keeps the State of Ohio afloat financially!
I got nothing to add here...but Jolie...my phone broke and I lost all my contact numbers...lol...hopefully this hits ur email...
DOT:
Department Of Transportation
A department of the federal executive branch responsible for the national highways and for railroad and airline safety. It also manages Amtrak, the national railroad system, and the Coast Guard.
State and Federal DOT Officers are responsible for commercial vehicle enforcement. "The truck police" you could call them.
