continuously for hours without breaks
face these problems which results in
fatal accidents.

or turn on the radio. If necessary,
find a rest stop and take a break.

CONDITIONS
Trucks require proper maintenance, and mechanical failure
(particularly of the brakes) can create a great danger to other
drivers. Brakes, truck lights and other safety equipment
should be properly maintained and regularly checked.
Truckers should always perform a complete pre-trip
inspection of their vehicles.

Due to the effect of alcohol consumption on driving ability and
driver reaction time, intoxicated drivers are at a significantly
heightened risk of accident, be it a single vehicle accident, or an
accident involving multiple vehicles.
Always inform your supervisor if you are taking
any prescription drug from your doctor, which
may impair your ability to operate a vehicle or do
your job.
