Preventing and Managing Fatigue for CMV Drivers Preventing and Managing Fatigue for CMV Drivers

Our program on Preventing and Managing Fatigue… for CMV Drivers discusses how you can manage fatigue when you’re on the road... as well as “sleep strategies” that you can use both on the road and at home to make sure you are getting enough good quality sleep. Problem-solving, quick decision-making and good judgment are all skills that CMV drivers need to drive safely. And if you're not getting enough sleep over an extended period of time, you can become "fatigued"… which can degrade these skills and increase the chances of having an accident when you're behind the wheel. But there are things that you can do to help you get the sleep that you need to be awake and alert when you’re on the road.

Areas included in the program include information on road sleep strategies, managing your fatigue on the road, at-home sleep strategies, and more.

This course presents fundamental information for Commercial Motor Vehicle drivers about fatigue and what they can do to prevent and manage it at home and on the road. Upon completing the course, drivers should:
- Know what they can do to prevent and manage fatigue.
