Not just the new people, though.
It also happens with drivers at about 5 years experience.
They get confident, which makes them complacent, which leads to more accidents at around that time.
And that can happen at any time in a career in driving.
I have honed my sense of fear out here.
I try to never lose that feeling of un-confidence.
Being afraid to move quickly or take chances is important when driving these big rigs.
Done before it even started?

To blindside back in the dark with a sleeper will make you a believer in those little windows on the side of the sleeper. It’s amazing how much they help. Now a sleeper with no windows at all I will do almost anything to avoid that.Boondock, TripleSix, Another Canadian driver and 1 other person Thank this.
