American workers drive commercial trucks, cars, buses, vans, and heavy vehicles on a regular basis as an integral part of work responsibilities. Regardless of socioeconomic status, every hard working man and woman driving a motor vehicle while at work is at risk of being injured or killed in an auto accident.
In the United States, the transportation activity on the job can result in work-related car accidents to every imaginable occupation such as uber drivers, lyft drivers, truck drivers, truck drivers, bus drivers, and delivery drivers. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics motor vehicle transportation crashes are the first or second leading cause of work related deaths in every major industry group. According to the CDC, in 2018, approximately 57% of workers that died were not employed in motor vehicle operator type jobs. This means that any worker is vulnerable to being fatally or seriously injured on the job.
Naturally, industries like transportation, forestry, warehousing, construction, and delivery whose primary function is using heavy trucks and machinery to transport goods will have the highest vehicle crash rate.
