Tennessee tractor trailer wrecks often have driver fatigue as a factor. There are lots of reasons why truck drivers experience fatigue, but there is no legitimate excuse for a tired truck driver to be driving a tractor trailer in Tennessee, or elsewhere.  Sometimes it is clearly the fault of the trucking company, sometimes clearly the fault of the driver.

A new bill has been proposed  in Congress that might reduce the number of tired truckers on highways. “Jason’s Law” would provide funding to increase the number of rest stops for truckers nationwide.

If they build or expand rest stops, will it decrease truck accidents in Nashville or truck accidents in Tennessee?

Recent truck wrecks I have reviewed don’t point to that, but if even one wreck is avoided isn’t it worth the cost?
