Driver fatigue is well recognized as an important causational factor in accidents involving long-distance truck drivers. Drivers may drive while fatigued for a variety of reasons. Important among these is the assignment of difficult or unreasonable delivery schedules. Using self-reported data, the frequency of violation-inducing schedules is estimated during their ongoing movement for a sample of 498 long-distance drivers. Assuming average legal speed limits of 55 MPH, 26% of the drivers were found to have violation-inducing schedules. Solo drivers, drivers hauling refrigerated loads, regular route drivers, and those with longer current trip distances are the most likely to have such schedules. Also estimated were total weekly work hours. Assuming average attained travelling speeds of 50 MPH, the average driver drives 46 hours per week and works a total of 58 hours.
驾驶员疲劳被公认为是涉及长途卡车司机的事故中的一个重要成因。司机可能因各种原因在疲劳状态下驾驶。其中重要的原因是安排了困难或不合理的交货时间表。利用自我报告的数据，对498名长途司机样本在其行驶过程中违反规定的时间表的频率进行了估计。假设法定平均限速为每小时55英里，发现26%的司机有违反规定的时间表。单独驾驶的司机、运输冷藏货物的司机、固定路线的司机以及当前行程距离较长的司机最有可能有这样的时间表。还估计了每周的总工作小时数。假设平均行驶速度为每小时50英里，平均每位司机每周驾驶46小时，总共工作58小时。
