The trucking industry can be dangerous.  According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, truck driving is among the top 5 most catastrophic occupations.  This has prompted the National Transportation Safety Board to tighten commercial trucking regulations in an effort to improve the safety of trucking workers.

Common Trucking Industry Injuries:

• Slip and falls
• Strains and sprains
• Getting struck by an object
• Motor vehicle collisions
• Loading/unloading materials
