Does Driver Fatigue Cause Truck Accidents? 

One of the most common causes of truck accidents is truck driver fatigue

Commercial truck drivers have a hard job. Navigating busy highways, unfamiliar routes, roads and cities with constantly changing driving conditions, ever-changing weather and road conditions, unclear road construction signs, shifting traffic patterns all have to be managed with great care.

How Dangerous is Drowsy Driving For a Truck Driver?
