Large Truck Blind Spots and How They Cause Accidents
Large trucks play a crucial role in transporting goods across the country. However, their sheer size and design create significant challenges, particularly when it comes to visibility. Understanding the concept of blind spots and the potential dangers they pose is essential for both truck drivers and other motorists sharing the road.

This means that the shifts are longer so the drivers are more fatigued, putting them at risk of causing an accident.
