Trucking and Sleep Apnea

Truck drivers are at a greater risk of being involved in dangerous motor vehicle accidents than are other drivers because they typically spend much more time on the roadway and travel much farther. This intensive driving can lead to extreme fatigue. When combined with other health concerns, the problem can quickly escalate.

For example, a study released in 2002 discovered that almost one in three truckers suffered from sleep apnea. This is potentially hazardous, and all independent owner-operators or small trucking fleet owners should monitor drivers for signs that they may be afflicted with this troubling condition.

Health Problems Associated with Sleep Apnea

Drivers who suffer from sleep apnea may be adversely affected by the following symptoms and events:

The strict delivery demands and requirements of clients can sometimes put drivers in a position to push the limits of their physical capacities and well-being.
