Truck drivers face many dangers while on the road. Collisions are often talked about the most as the biggest threat to the safety of drivers, but the leading cause of injuries drivers experience are not from behind the wheel.
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the majority of injuries occur when drivers fall, slip or trip while working on or around their truck. For drivers operating tanker trucks, the risk of experiencing these types of injuries are especially high due to the nature of their job.
