Driver Fatigue: Industry Problem or Personal Responsibility?

Driver fatigue isn't just about getting more sleep; it's about surviving a broken system that works against you.

Mikal Donut Duncan, Jason Defoor, and Burt Morris bring their experience to the fatigue debate. Is it your fault when truck parking is unavailable after hour 9? Should drivers bear all the blame when trip planning ignores biology? They tackle sleep apnea realities, the difficulty in finding safe parking spots, and effective rest management strategies behind the wheel. If you're a pro driver fighting to stay alert, an owner-operator managing your own schedule, or a safety manager trying to reduce incidents, this conversation delivers actionable insights.
