Truck driver fatigue poses a significant risk on the road. When a driver becomes too tired, their reflexes slow down and focus wanes. This lack of alertness can lead to delayed braking and misjudged distances, increasing the likelihood of a crash. Our discussion highlights how a tired truck driver may face challenges in reacting to hazards, potentially causing collisions that affect not only the driver but also other motorists. Understanding these effects is important for anyone dealing with the aftermath of a truck accident. We explain how federal guidelines play a key role in preventing fatigue-related crashes. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) sets Hours of Service (HOS) regulations to reduce the risks associated with long driving hours. Truck drivers are permitted to drive up to 11 hours per shift, but only after a mandatory 10-hour rest period. Their total on-duty time, which includes tasks such as loading and inspections, cannot exceed 14 hours in one shift. In addition, drivers must take a 30-minute break after eight hours of driving. These measures, along with the use of Electronic Logging Devices (ELDs), help monitor driving time and ensure adherence to safety rules. The video also covers the enforcement of these guidelines in Pennsylvania under 67 Pa. Code § 229. This regulation supports the implementation of HOS rules and helps verify that truck drivers remain within prescribed limits. Enforcement agencies conduct roadside inspections, ELD audits, and compliance reviews. By following these practices, authorities aim to minimize fatigue-related accidents and maintain safe driving conditions on Pennsylvania roads. At Luxenberg Garbett Kelly & George, P.C., our team offers assistance to those affected by truck accidents. In this video, we explain how negligent drivers or truck companies may be held responsible when their practices create unsafe conditions.
