Understanding the Risks of Truck Driver Fatigue
Truck driver fatigue can be both mental and physical. If the driver does not get enough sleep, he or she may become drowsy, which can severely hinder driving abilities. It is estimated that truck driver fatigue is responsible for around 30% of all truck crashes in the United States annually. Thus, it is important for truck drivers to take precautions and avoid driving while drowsy.
Signs of drowsy driving include:
- Swerving
- Driving in oncoming lanes
- Speeding or going too slow
- Failing to obey traffic signals or signs
- Driving erratically
- Failing to use turn signals
Extreme drowsiness can have effects similar to drunkenness. This means a drowsy driver is putting others on the road in danger of injuries or death. Because commercial trucks can weigh up to 80,000 pounds when fully loaded, an accident can have devastating results.
