There are approximately 4,000 fatalities in crashes involving
trucks and buses in the United States each year. Though estimates
are wide-ranging, possibly 10 to 20 percent of these crashes might
have involved fatigued drivers. The stresses associated with their
particular jobs (irregular schedules, etc.) and the lifestyle that
many truck and bus drivers lead, puts them at substantial risk for
insufficient sleep and for developing short- and long-term health
problems. Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health
and Highway Safety assesses the state of knowledge about the
relationship of such factors as hours of driving, hours on duty,
and periods of rest to the fatigue experienced by truck and bus
drivers while driving and the implications for the safe operation
of their vehicles. This report evaluates the relationship of these
factors to drivers' health over the longer term, and identifies
improvements in data and research methods that can lead to better
understanding in both areas. Table of Contents Front Matter Summary
