Truck driver fatigue is a common cause of many serious truck accidents. Drivers of big rigs and tractor-trailers have a very demanding job and sometimes feel pressured to make deliveries on time, even to the point of violating federal rules that limit how long truck drivers are allowed to stay on the road before they must rest. When truck drivers violate the rules or fail to take care of their health and drive fatigued as a result, serious truck accidents and car accidents in South Miami and other communities are the common result.
