Should drivers under the age of 21 drive big rigs?

Most readers responding to a poll on the Logistics Management & Distribution Report Web site (www.logisticsmgmt.com) oppose a plan to try the younger drivers.

A proposal facing the Department of Transportation would establish a pilot program allowing under-21 drviers to operate heavy-duty trucks with close supervision.

What do you think of the proposal?

The test should go forward  =  29.35%
The pilot program should not be approved  = 70.65%
