truck driver fatigue

Fatigue specific to truck and other commercial drivers: long-haul drowsiness, professional-driver alertness decline, and fatigue-management practice in the occupational heavy-vehicle context. The driver's tired STATE in commercial operation, distinct from the duty-hour rules that govern it (hours_of_service), broad organizational safety programs (fleet_safety), and the passenger-carrying setting (bus_coach).
