How do you prevent driver fatigue between sites?

Fatigue behind the wheel is a bigger risk than most of what happens on the tower. - Count the total day: work hours plus the drive. If it is 14 hours or more, sleep before you drive. - Rotate drivers, and the passenger’s job is to keep the driver awake and honest. - Stop every two hours, walk and drink water; coffee helps for a short time, not for a long time. - Plan the lodging close to the site, even if the rate is slightly higher. - Pull over for a nap when you feel yourself drifting; 20 minutes helps more than loud music. - Tell the foreman when you are not fit to drive: a good company respects that. Commercial drivers have legal hours-of-service limits under FMCSA rules; everyone else should use them as a guide. — CrewRating Team.
