The trucking industry is well-known among safety experts for being a dangerous (and dangerously unaccountable) sector of the economy. A global study of truckers worldwide found that 1 in 2 truck drivers had taken drugs or consumed alcohol behind the wheel of their rigs—some of which can weigh up to 80,000 pounds. In the United States, studies revealed the top 10 “associated factors” that contributed to trucking accidents—two of them were the use of prescription and over-the-counter drugs.
Even among sober drivers, a combination of exhaustion and exceeding the speed limit was among the top critical factors that led to a truck accident. Why is trucking so deadly and dangerous for motorists? Because the trucking industry is pushing their drivers to meet deadlines, make their miles, and break federal regulations in order to make ends meet. Lobbyists for the industry are attempting to undo regulations such as mandated rest breaks or electronic log books—things that keep motorists and trucking employees safer.
