WHEN TRUCKERS PUSH THEIR LIMITS
Truckers face tremendous pressure to deliver loads in a timely fashion. They face tight deadlines, and they’re penalized if they arrive behind schedule. This kind of pressure forces truck drivers to speed as well as continue driving even when they’re exhausted.
Rushed and fatigued drivers put other vehicles at risk by:
- Driving for longer periods of time than allowed by federal laws.
- Taking shorter rest breaks than mandated by federal laws.
- Taking stimulants, legal and illegal, to keep awake.
- Altering log books to reflect greater rest periods.
