Baton Rouge, LA<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Studies by the National Transportation Safety Board suggests truck driver fatigue causes about 30 to 40% of commercial truck accidents. Operating a vehicle that can weigh up to 80,000 pounds makes it critical for a commercial truck driver to use the utmost safety and caution. While working long hours and with relatively no time spent outside a truck, many drivers are prone to dangerous mistakes. Exhaustion, sleep deprivation, and fatigue are common problems in the commercial trucking industry. The nature of the job, long, solitary hours on the road, tight deadlines, and pressure to reach destinations on time, lends itself to tired drivers. When a driver fails to act safely behind a 40-ton vehicle, untold damage can often follow. When fatigue contributes to a crash, the injuries are often severe, and victims may need legal help to hold the driver and trucking company accountable.<\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"inr-cnt-left

Yet pressure to meet deadlines or a misjudgment can cause them to drive longer than what is considered safe. While fatigue can affect any driver, commercial truckers are especially susceptible to this dangerous driving behavior. <strong>A number of work conditions increase the risk of drowsy driving in truck drivers in <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baton_Rouge,_Louisiana\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baton Rouge<\/a>, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"unusual-sleeping-schedules\"><\/span>Unusual Sleeping Schedules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Many long-haul truckers must work overnight shifts to make it to their destinations on time, Working at night and sleeping during the day is difficult for most people, as it goes against the natural sleep cycle. It can be hard to get eight hours of rest during the day when the body is accustomed to being awake.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"sleep-apnea\"><\/span>Sleep Apnea<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sleep apnea is a breathing condition that causes respiratory problems while sleeping, interrupting sleep and even contributing to health issues. Almost one-third of commercial truck drivers suffer from sleep apnea. A driver combating sleep apnea is more at risk of dozing off behind the wheel.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"tight-deadlines-and-pressure-from-employers\"><\/span>Tight Deadlines and Pressure from Employers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are many injuries one can sustain when you&#8217;re in a motorcycle collision. They include small scratches to more life-threatening injuries. Among the most frequently encountered injuries in motorcycle crashes are the following. If you experience any of these, you must promptly contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.murphylawfirm.com\/baton-rouge-motorcycle-accident-lawyer\/\">motorcycle injury lawyers<\/a> for assistance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"poor-dietary-choices\"><\/span>Poor Dietary Choices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What a truck driver eats, drinks, and does during a shift can affect how drowsy he or she becomes while driving. Skipping meals, driving on an empty stomach, eating junk food, or eating a large meal can all contribute to tired driving. Truck drivers should eat healthy, energizing foods at regular intervals throughout the day, and eat a light snack before bed for better sleep.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"substance-and-alcohol-use\"><\/span>Substance and Alcohol Use<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Being under the influence can also cause a driver to fall asleep behind the wheel. Even prescription drugs pose drowsy driving risks to truckers. Many prescription and over-the-counter medications warn not to operate heavy machinery after taking in case of drowsiness. It is up to the driver not to partake in alcohol, drugs, or medications before starting a shift.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"wheeler-accident-attorneys-in-baton-rouge\"><\/span>Wheeler Accident Attorneys in Baton Rouge<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>There are things truck companies and their drivers can do to reduce the risk of fatigue-related truck accidents. Adhering to federal rest rules, taking naps when needed, eating healthy, exercising, seeking treatment for sleep apnea, and recognizing the signs of tired driving early on could all prevent deadly car crashes.
