Helping Oklahoma Recover Compensation Caused By Truck Driver Fatigue

People do not perform as well when they’re exhausted — even simple tasks. This is a simple fact, confirmed by anecdotal experience and science.

And, if performing simple, safe tasks is challenging when an individual is tired, imagine how difficult it is to complete a complex task when you’re tired, like driving a large commercial vehicle.

Fatigued Driving Is Common In The Trucking Industry

Unfortunately, this happens all too often. CDL truck drivers commonly drive for very long hours, even when they are extremely tired.

As a deadline-driven industry, the trucking business does not lend itself to frequent breaks and times of rest. Many drivers stay on the road for many overtime hours, off the books in many cases, in order to get their cargo delivered on time.

Sadly, this reckless behavior results in many accidents. Fatigued driving slows reaction time, hinders decision-making and increases the risk of falling asleep behind the wheel.
