Abstract
The popular view of the life of a commercial truck driver is one of excitement, travel and freedom. It is also mostly wrong. Heavy truck driving is difficult, exacting, often dangerous work. This paper details some of the hazards which face the person behind the wheel, and some approaches to improving that unique workplace.
