Three out of four deaths that occur in our industry over the period of a year do so as the result of heart related problems. Further drivers survive only one heart attack out of four. Three out of four drivers who have heart attacks die from the attack.
Reason being in most cases is the location when the attack occurs.
A driver and his wife from Kermit, TX was south of Barstow, CA deadheading to Henderson, NV for a load. The sun was setting behind the mountains. It looked like residue from a construction site. He looked out across the desert and admired the colors. As he looked back, he saw a large rock directly in front of him and he swerved left to miss it.
