Each year 4,000 people are killed and another 100,000 people are injured in truck crashes. This is an unacceptably high number of losses and injuries, but most people don't know about these numbers or the safety equipment that can protect people on the roads until they or someone they know has their lives forever altered in a crash involving a semi truck.

We found out the hard way all about how important truck safety is when AnnaLeah (age 17) and Mary (age 13) were killed in an accident involving two semi trucks on May 4, 2013. In a meeting on September 12th, 2013 with the Truck Safety Coalition and Secretary of Transportation Foxx, Foxx promised to start working on making the roads safer.

We are specifically asking Foxx to:

Raise minimum levels of insurance required for truck drivers--which has not been done for over 30 years. Decrease driver fatigue and monitor their hours on the road with Electronic Logging Devices. Take needed steps to improve underride guards, which prevent vehicles from sliding under trucks--causing horrific injuries and tragic deaths.
