How many cars are transporting freight?

Ever hear of an 18 wheeler? USPS trucks have killed 70 people this year alone

18 wheelers aren't real, neither are birds.

Car accident being a generic term for automobile accidents including long haul trucks and minivans among other things

I do. Freight truck accidents are a subset of car accidents, sneaky pete. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Well since we’re being specific, 46,000 people die in automobile accidents a year compared to 4 fatalities involving trains

I presume trucks hauling freight kill more than 4 out of a total of 46,000.

Per IIHS, it’s ~4,000 per year. Why do we allow these things on roads?

There are more trucks than there are trains.
