Do Truck Drivers Cause Accidents Because They Snore?

Written by Manny Erlich. Posted in Blog, In The News

new study from Australia says truck drivers who drink caffeine are less prone to accidents than their counterparts who don’t drink caffeine.  The study found that long haul truck drivers who used coffee, tea or other caffeine products to stay awake reduced their risk of getting into an accident by over 60%.  My reaction?  Go for it!  If caffeine helps truck drivers stay more alert and reduces accidents, give them all the caffeine they want.  In fact, give it to them free!

But there’s a bigger problem.  A much more serious one that needs to be addressed.
