Relevance

In case you didn't think that the subject was relevant to you, here are some statistics dug up by the talented and hard-working Erica McGrath:

"More than 80 percent of U.S. communities
depend solely on trucking for delivery of their
goods and commodities."

"There are 3.46 million truck drivers in the
United States. Total industry employment is 8.9
million, or one of every 15 people working in
the United States."

-The American Trucking Associations

  1. 80% DEPEENDS ON TRUCKING. WELL,I GUESS THE OTHER 20% dapends on boats .airplanes,and trains. but how does it get from the docks,airports, and trainyards? by truck. LOOK AROUND YOUR HOME AND TRY TO FIND SOMETHING THATS HASEN'T TAKEN A RIDE ON A TRUCK, EVERTHING INSIde, EVERYTHING OUTSIDE,EVEN EVERTHING TO BUILD YOUR HOUSE, oops.caps on breifly.Trucks is the blood that pulses through the vien to keep those vital organs of this country alive..the towns and cities.
    80% is a little shy when in reality trucking effects more in the area of ummm...everyone......
