Most of the time, said driver error can somehow be traced back to truck driver fatigue. In a typical 8-hour shift, truck drivers are only required to take a 30-minute break during this time. According to New Scientist Magazine, “driving for just 80 minutes without a break can make motorists a danger on the roads.” A lack of rest in turn slows down a driver’s reaction time, and when behind the wheel of such a large and heavy vehicle, it’s pretty important…
