If they really cared about truck drivers health they would put MEDICAL SAUNAS in all Truckstop’s, also OTR truck drivers would be much HEALTHIER if they PLAN their loads and make their OWN APPOINTMENT TIMES! BY FMCSA LAWS no company can decide how a driver uses his hours, unless the company pays by the hour. NO EXCEPTIONS!
The Roads would be much safer from all those truck pile up crashes, and the drivers would be much healthier and relaxed 😎.
I’m currently RETIRED FROM OTR trucking and will never 👎 drive again as long as the shippers and receivers run the industry!
