Commercial truck drivers often spend long stretches of time on the road, which dulls their senses, causes fatigue and reduces reaction time. A lack of rest has a direct effect on alertness and driver awareness. Fatigue can cause drivers to fall asleep while behind the wheel and lose focus when driving. This is a cause for an accident that can be easily avoided with proper time management and organization.
For the driver in an automobile, the collision with a much larger vehicle at high speeds can result in horrific results. Many such truck-car accidents result in critical injuries requiring months or even years of recovery, extremely high medical bills and long periods without income. Some devastating accidents often result in a wrongful death situation.
