The roads and highways of southwest Louisiana are dangerous for trucks. The chances are good that you have seen a truck accident on Interstates 10 and 49, or on Highway 90. These roads are the sites of many serious and fatal accidents involving step vans, panel trucks, gravel trucks, and other types of working motor vehicles.

Many of these accidents are caused directly or indirectly by driver fatigue. Tired drivers don't look past the blind spot in their mirror. They run red lights in town. They fail to look for pedestrians, motorcycles, and bicycles. They slide through stop signs. Tired drivers fall asleep at the wheel, crossing the centerline and hitting oncoming vehicles.
