Everyone loves a good road trip. California is a
beautiful long state with any attractions
starting at the very north end of the state down
to the very south. Because we are such a densely
populated state, there is always a lot of roadway
traffic.

severe injury. He understands that trucks are

Truck drivers are just like regular drivers but
in bigger vehicles. They may drive longer
distances, but they require sleep and rest times
like any other driver. Truck drivers are
susceptible to drowsy sleeping or drinking and
driving like any other driver.

The most common times for truck accidents are
during the weekday. Around 84 of truck accidents

The leading cause of truck accidents is
prescription drug use. Truck drivers get sick,
and they need help too. Some truckers need drugs
to help mediate their sleep or driving activity.
Around 26 of accidents are because of drug use,
and 23 are due to seed.

Truck maintenance is important because if a truck
tire blows, it can cause the driver to lost
control. Tires are 51 responsible for mechanic
issues on trucks. A well-maintained truck means
safer roads for everyone.
