Today, our commerce rides on the back of a large trucking industry with approximately 15.5 million trucks in operation in the United States. Of those, 2 million represent semi trucks.
These trucks carrying large loads at fast speeds are often driven by individuals who are impaired or drowsy. In 2016, it was found that 90 percent of all accidents involving semis were due to driver error while a Harvard study found that 50 percent of drivers admitted to “drifting off” while on a route, with 25 percent admitting to having fallen asleep at the wheel. Considering the weight and speed of these vehicles, the implications of accidents involving semi-trucks and their consequences are staggering.
