Causes Of Truck Driver Fatigue
When it comes to truck driver fatigue, the issue of long-haul truck driver compensation is at the heart of the problem. Almost all over-the-road truck drivers are paid in one of two ways — on a per mile basis or on a flat-fee, per load basis. Both of these compensation schemes provide drivers with a strong incentive to drive fast and for long periods of time.
Truck drivers may skip their required rest periods or drive for longer periods than federal regulations allow. They may also use over-the-counter or illegal stimulants to stay awake, but these may only serve to slow reaction times and result in a sudden loss of alertness when the medication wears off. Some truck drivers operate in teams — one drives while the other gets some fitful sleep in the cab’s bunk. But studies show that a person is not fully awake for at least 20 minutes after rising.
