the idea that there is maybe not "room to spend" on safety seems absurd. Safety should something that only happens if you can afford it. If the cost of shipping needs to increase to accomodate the cost of safety, then let's do that, but trucking needs to be safe, both for the truckers and the other road users, no matter what the financial cost is. If paying for safety hurts the trucking industry by making rail or air freight more attractive, i don't see that as a bad thing. We should not all have to subsidize the trucking industry by compromising our own safety on the roads.
