Truck Drivers Take To Bikes For Safety

You've heard the saying, "Don't judge until you've walked a mile in someone else's shoes" (I'm paraphrasing but you get the gist)? Well in London truckers aren't walking, but biking, a mile in someone else's shoes.

Truck drivers are leaving the truck cab and getting on bicycles in an effort to improve safety on the streets. By spending time on a bike, the drivers will experience what it's like to ride with traffic, especially large trucks. Road.cc has the story.

As the battle of transportation funds go on, there is a lot of drivers in need of jobs. Its hard finding places where there are Drivers wanted. Fortunately some companies assist in finding trucking jobs, for example, Trucking Partners.
