Semi trucks command the road with their size and power, leaving drivers vulnerable to potentially fatal outcomes.

According to Truck Accident Statistics, there are about 500,000 tractor/trailer wrecks each year, with 98% of them resulting in at least one fatality. For every 100 million miles driven on U.S. Roadways, there are about 2.3 deaths and 60.5 injuries caused by tractor/trailers. Fatigued truck drivers that drive countless hours are found to be the leading cause of tractor/trailer wrecks in the U.S. Some of these drivers drive for hours or days on end without enough rest. There are laws that require certain amounts of rest but they are often ignored.
