Wow great thing they don't do that here in the states that could cripple a lot of companies as I'm sure our number of trucks are considerably higher. Imagine the impact it would have on small companies that rely on their weekly or monthly shipments.
Personally I know from being in the trucking industry that maintenance is the number 1 key to keeping your huge investment protected. I work at http://onlinetruckdrivingjobs.com and we ensure that our truck drivers stay in well maintained newer equipment at all times. I bet it does teach people a lesson....
