While on the road, you have likely seen many truck drivers. These drivers have professional obligations to meet, and they spend much of their lives on the road trying to get from one destination to the next. Some people may think that truckers have it easy just sitting behind the wheel all day, but the strain of their jobs have serious side effects.
For many, being on the road for so long can cause stress, loneliness, depression, fatigue and many other issues that could affect the way they drive. Unfortunately, to combat many of these undesirable feelings, some truck drivers turn to alcohol or drugs for various reasons. This not only puts their own well-being at risk but also the well-being of you and others on the road.
