As an over-the-road truck driver, you know that every mile demands your full attention. But when hunger strikes, it’s easy to become distracted while eating behind the wheel. Distracted driving is one of the leading causes of accidents on the road, and it’s an issue we need to tackle head-on.
Enter the Travel Trable, a safety tool designed by a truck driver for truck drivers. Not only does it provide a secure surface for meals and drinks, but it also plays a vital role in reducing distractions, improving safety, and keeping the focus where it belongs—on the road ahead.
The True Cost of Distracted Driving
According to the NHTSA, distracted driving contributed to 3,300 fatalities in 2022 alone. Eating while driving is one of the most common distractions for truckers, leading to:
- Food spills that can cause sudden reactions.
- Reaching for items, pulling attention from the road.
- Reduced reaction time due to multitasking.
Key Distracted Driving Stats
| Year | Traffic Fatalities (Distracted Driving) | Key Insights |
|---|---|---|
| 2022 | 3,300 fatalities | Eating is a top contributor. |
| 2023 | Estimated 3,200 fatalities | Slight improvement, but risk remains high. |
| 2024 | TBD | Early data indicates distracted driving persists as a leading cause of accidents. |
