Tired Truckers Pose Danger On Highways
Posted on May 6, 2008 - Filed Under Automotive | Leave a Comment
Approximately 5,000 people are killed and nearly 150,000 are injured annually in trucking accidents on our country’s highways. One in four passenger vehicle deaths in multiple-vehicle crashes involve a large truck, and large trucks are involved in multiple-vehicle fatal crashes twice as often as passenger vehicles.
When truck drivers become fatigued from excessive daily and weekly work hours, they substantially increase the risk of crashes that result in injury or death. The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) reports that approximately 750 people die each year due to fatigued commercial truck drivers and 20,000 are injured. Because of these disturbing statistics, the FMCSA has proposed a rule change regarding the number of hours a trucker can drive without taking a break to rest/sleep.

Well, do you? Ever thought about it at all? You’ve got a Homeowners Insurance Policy. Right? Well, years of experience tell us that most people think their home business is covered with just their Homeowners Insurance. And that is fine for your 12 year old daughters’ lemonade stand. But when the “hobby” becomes a business, things can change!
Sure, you would not be the first one to have a stolen business computer covered by Homeowners, but understand this… It is a flip of the coin! If it was taken together with the TV, some jewelry, and other valuables, you may have won.
