Driver Fatigue
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) has issued Hours of Service (HOS) rules that limit when and how long drivers can be behind the wheel. However, industry demands, such as pressure to meet tight deadlines and need for overtime hours, lead many truck drivers to work long hours and take few breaks.
When truck drivers become fatigued they suffer:
- Delayed reaction time
- Less efficient information processing
- Reduced awareness of surroundings
If you are the victim of truck driver fatigue, we want to work with you. As a victim, you already face a number of worries—we believe your case should never be one of them. Call Richard Harris Law Firm today.
