Truck Drivers (IMAGE) University of Utah Health Caption Truck drivers who are frequently fatigued after work, use cell phones while driving, or have an elevated pulse pressure -- a potential predictor of cardiovascular disease -- may be at increased risk for getting into truck accidents, according to a study led by the Rocky Mountain Center for Occupational and Environmental Health (RMCOEH) at the University of Utah School of Medicine. The findings were based on basic physical exams and surveys of 797 truckers at truck shows and truck stops.
