Drivers must be at least 21 years old to drive on the interstates, with efforts being made to reduce the age to 18. 1 These and all other rules regarding the safety of interstate commercial driving are issued by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA).
The lifestyle necessitated by long-haul trucking—long stretches of time spent on the road, away from home—coupled with frequent lack of child care, family leave, and other benefits disproportionately impact women drivers , who often bear the brunt of caretaking responsibilities for children and elders.
19 Drivers themselves may improve fuel efficiency by using a method called progressive shifting , in which the driver shifts through the gears (typical trucks may have between 10 and 18 gears) in such a manner as to optimize the power range of the engine.
