Your truck is your lifeline! If you suffer a personal injury while driving a truck, you may be at risk of losing your source of income. Being on the road is money: When you’re not driving, you’re not earning.
Sitting in a seat while being injured hurts. People may assume that driving a semi truck is easy or it can be done while injured. Those people have never driven a big rig. Sitting in a chair with your arms extended for long periods of time is hard. When your back or neck, any part of your body for that matter, is injured on top of this, it can be excruciating. Bouncing with the potholes in the roads while maintaining control of a semi truck while injured just isn’t safe. An injured truck driver who drives anyway is a danger to the safety of the road. An injured truck driver is going to have reduced reaction times, loss of attention, and possibly be taking pain medications to continue working, because if they are not driving they are not making money.
