TIRED TRUCKERS – FATIGUED TRUCK DRIVERS
Independent interstate truckers are generally paid by the mile. The more they drive… the more they earn. So it’s not hard to imagine truck drivers who push their physical limits to the point of fatigue. Although Federal law regulates how many hours a truck driver can drive, some drivers choose profits over safety and risk the lives of our motoring public so they can make more money. Fatigue is involved in 20%-50% of all large truck accidents (see below).
CAUSE OF TRUCK CRASHES
The most common causes of truck accidents are related to driver error and mechanical issues including the following:
– Driver Error (truck and passenger driver distraction, texting, speeding and unsafe driving practices).
– Driver Fatigue (20%-50% of all large truck accidents involve fatigue).
– Equipment Failure
– Poor or Improper Maintenance (primarily brakes and tires).
