Book excerpt: There have been many changes to the Commerical Driver's Licensing (CDL) Medical Examination. Dr. Ziegler has examined hundreds of truck drivers, and started to see a common bond as to why many were not achieving the maximum two year certification. Obesity, poor eating habits, and lack of general nutritional knowledge became evident. As a service to the drivers who were struggling with their weight, Dr. Ziegler started to give tidbits and hints on proper eating. It was his hope the truckers would improve not only on their testing, but make lifestyle changes as well. Much to his amazement, several drivers showed immediate results. Dr. Ziegler started to set his advice on paper, and followed through with this book. Included in this book is the number one reason drivers are immediately disqualified; it is not the one most people would guess! Also, several diets are presented, and an interview with a long time, long haul driver who has consistently kept his weight off and maintained excellent health!

Download or read book Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue Long Term Health and Highway Safety written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-09-12 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are approximately 4,000 fatalities in crashes involving trucks and buses in the United States each year. Though estimates are wide-ranging, possibly 10 to 20 percent of these crashes might have involved fatigued drivers. The stresses associated with their particular jobs (irregular schedules, etc.) and the lifestyle that many truck and bus drivers lead, puts them at substantial risk for insufficient sleep and for developing short- and long-term health problems. Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health and Highway Safety assesses the state of knowledge about the relationship of such factors as hours of driving, hours on duty, and periods of rest to the fatigue experienced by truck and bus drivers while driving and the implications for the safe operation of their vehicles. This report evaluates the relationship of these factors to drivers' health over the longer term, and identifies improvements in data and research methods that can lead to better understanding in both areas.
