| Research Shows On-the-road Lifestyle is Killing Truckers Research Shows On-the-road Lifestyle is Killing Truckers 7/13/07 Ergoweb, UT [quote] Government numbers reveal that truckers suffer the most fatalities of all occupations, and not all of them from traffic accidents. Medical conditions account for some 20 percent of the deaths, and the latest research from the Transportation Research Board (TRB) points a finger at human factors linked to the on-the-road lifestyle. A recent survey suggests the industry is starting to help drivers mend their ways. The research, due to be re-released later in July, shows obesity is rampant. Reporting on the research, the Associated Press (AP) noted that many truckers don’t wear seatbelts because their stomachs get in the way. About one in four have sleep apnea. Half of them smoke, compared to about one-fifth of all Americans. These are risk factors for high blood pressure and chronic conditions like heart disease and diabetes. http://www.ergoweb.com/news/detail.cfm?id=2126 article continues  |

Yeah, I'll just pull in after a 14 hour day and do some sit-ups while getting something to eat, washing my clothes and talking to my family. I can't believe they didn't even factor in the stress from dealing with the company you drive for, I had my BP jump 20 points in two months from that alone! |
