The average truck driver spends about 70 hours a week on the road. Their work involves several hours of sitting followed by brief periods of strenuous labor which makes drivers more prone to injury than the average occupation. Many drivers are paid by mile so days are long, working hours vary, and drivers are consistently getting irregular sleep. The most common injuries for truckers include slips and falls climbing in or out of the cab, vehicle accidents, back injuries from lifting, falls on loading docks, and carpal tunnel.
