Semi truck accidents are among some of the worst there is! This isn’t because truckers are bad drivers! It is not because drivers of small cars are bad drivers! We will come back to drivers in a second, but if it isn’t the drivers that make semi truck accidents, then what is it?

It is the vehicles themselves actually that cause semi truck accidents!

A semi truck with a trailer can weigh 80,000 or more pounds! While an average car or small ¾ ton truck will only weigh about 4,000 pounds. So, anyone who has ever thrown a water balloon at a friend, knows the balloon doesn’t stand a chance, and neither does the small car when it hits a commercial truck!

For some people taking a DOT Physical Exam it’s a piece of cake, but that isn’t always the case.

Others will struggle and get the “chills” just a few days before the final day, and then when the day comes they fail.

Their mind completely blocks and they will draw a blank. I have been there myself quite few times!

Why is that so? – You might be wondering!

Well, first off, we are all different people and stress levels affect us all in different ways.

Me for example, I am fairly stress resistant, to the point where I always see it the other way around. Actually I have gotten really good at controlling my feelings, (to the point I can usually control my body too)!

On the other side, my sister, oh man! Her blood pressure will hit the roof just because there isn’t enough mushrooms it the fridge for the soup she was planning to make. Let’s not even speak about her pressure levels if she were to take the DOT Physical exam!

So, with that said, let’s not forget that we all act and perform differently in given moments.

There are several articles debunking this such as Snopes. Walmart never had an official corporate policy stating “truck drivers not welcome at Walmart”, or any such policy banning truckers from shopping in their stores. Nor does any major retailer have such a policy for that matter.

This includes:

Neither do any of the hundreds of other retail and fast food businesses that can be found on such list as the National Retail Federation or in Forbes, will ever say something like that. None of the major outlets have or would ever have such a policy as truck drivers not welcome at Walmart, or similar nonsense!

Truckers and the trucking industry is their life blood! Why would truck drivers be banned from their stores?

Truckers are not only an important part of their industry but when it comes to customers they are the more respectable looking class of shoppers.
