Study finds many truckers medically unfit to drive

How many are mentally unfit to drive?

Chasing 80 or 90 mph big trucks? Thye must of been Scheider,Werner,Swift trucks on a train.

How many are mentally unfit to drive?
Don't ask, and we won't tell!
not to worry the seats soon will be completely full of professional illegals working for tacos'doing those truckin jobs american truckers don't want to do. you know tank,flat,van,container,reefer ,drop,etc.....

I wonder how many are unhealthy because of working 90 hours a week for min wage?
I had a PA tell me I might be unfit to drive because I sometimes snore. You work 20 hours in a day and see if you snore. I don't trust these people, there out for your hard earned min wage.

I tried to tell people that truckers were fcuking nuts.

After more than 22 yrs driving I have come to the conclusion that the biggest problem in trucking industry is the driver themself.Most drivers would rather have a big sleeper, dual exhaust and chrome lugnut covers then decent pay and benefits. This day and age with 4-5 dollar a gallon fuel a daycab and a motel room is so much better,but you would have the make union wages to enjoy that luxury, a comfortable bed,bathroom,etc. Of course Wal mart travel centers offer such amenities parking lot bombs(piss bottles),restrooms (bathing in the sink in the store restroom with illegal aliens).
What do truckstops offer as a healthy alternative? Nothing free,if you want healthy you're going to pay,period.
Trucking has gone down the toilet and it's nobody's fault but the driver themself. Unite,stick together,at least do something for yourself.

A lot more 4-wheeler drivers are in medical conditions that are very dangerous! What about the hundreds of thousands of people who suddenly drop dead from a heart attack with no warning? Look at Tim Russert the NBC newsman. He had just had a physical and was told he was fine! The DOT is going too far, and these medics are using it as a way to make a lot of extra money.
