Truck drivers and insurance groups are hoping that the 11-hour rule that is currently imposed on the trucking industry will change.

Currently, truck drivers are required to drive for 11 hours every day of the week that they are working. Truck drivers are not paid for the amount of hours they work but rather for the amount of miles they drive. As a result of these long days, truck drivers are expected to live 16 years less than the average American.

A safer 10-hour rule has been proposed because the 11-hour rule can be a danger to the public. Every year there are approximately 4,000 fatalities that result from commercial truck accidents.  Although the current rule may increase the profits of the trucking companies, they are clearly a hazard to the truck driver's health.

A final regulation regarding this topic is set to be issued on December 30.

A truck driver in Pennsylvania is being praised as a hero after he saved the life of a woman who was about to be murdered.

The trucker was driving along Interstate 380 when he noticed a car stopped with a man holding a gun to a woman's head. He decided he had to stop and help so he pulled his truck over and quickly approached the situation. The man tried to shoot the woman but the gun he was using had jammed. He was beating her with the edge of the gun when the trucker approached and pulled her into his truck with him.

Freight factoring consists of many options and varieties. The two main types of truck factoring include; recourse truck factoring and non-recourse truck factoring.

Recourse truck factoring means that the person purchasing the insurance on the truck is willing to put the credit on their shoulders. This responsibility of credit fees allows for the rates to be lower than non-recourse truck factoring and therefore more affordable.

Non-recourse truck factoring involves the company taking the credit risk so there is no credit liability for the driver. The company is responsible for dealing with credit problems. This option works well for companies that are operating between one and five trucks.

Long haul trucks are equipped with amenities that can help resemble a comforting atmosphere. The sleeping area of a truck has multiple features that are in sync with a mobile home.

There are different options that are being created in order to most effectively charge the leisure battery. Long distance truck drivers should consider their options so that they can extend the life of their battery and enjoy features of the truck that can remind them of home.

There are over 20 hard of hearing and deaf truck drivers that have turned in paperwork to be considered for exclusion from DOT hearing requirements. These applicants are now being contemplated for a chance to obtain Commercial Driver's Licenses.

Constant support has managed for this issue to gain recognition with National Association of the Deaf.

The Department of Transportation has put in place testing to ensure that all truck drivers are competent on the road.

That testing made it almost impossible for deaf or hard of hearing truck drivers to receive a license.  The paperwork they submitted allows them to qualify for a license without having to take the formerly required hearing tests.
