Urban Canadians and the Car Transport Industry

Car transport professionals that might have been concerned about the mood and attitude of Canadians living in urban centres of Canada towards auto transport carriers traveling through the area might be onto something. A recently conducted Leger Marketing poll in Quebec discovered that many people on the roads of Quebec feel that car carriers and other large trucks need to slow down when on the roads of Canada and that many of these professional vehicles follow too close to the vehicle in front of them and seem to forget that not every person on the road is as confident and skilled at driving as they might be.

The results from this poll weren't all bad though as the survey indicated that overall about 83 percent of those questioned had a positive attitude toward the transport industry and its work transporting on the roads of Canada. The survey according to some transport professionals also suggests that the individuals surveyed that were concerned about transport trucks on the roads of Canada could be living in an urban area already choked with traffic and construction that could definitely have changed their opinion. That commuters in traffic with a large transport truck might often feel a little apprehension no matter which side the truck is currently on, not just when they're coming up behind them, and that drivers often forget that large trucks can't stop and start on a dime.

This certainly seems to make sense when you consider the size of the trucks in question and the small room that's often available when you're driving next to one on the highway. It probably does seem to many drivers on the roads that the vehicle transport behind them is to close for safety and this could be the case in many instances. It would seem to be more concerning that drivers on the roads over estimate the ability of the large truck behind them to make a fast move when necessary, since this is wrong and could cause them significant physical harm.
