Case Study: The Long-Haul Truck Driver

For case study #2, we will profile the truck driver. The operator of this hypothetical truck has the following situations to deal with:

• Long periods of driving on the road, occasionally across boring terrain, and at night.
• A truck seat that is old, and therefore lacks proper support for the back.
• Continuous low-level, whole body vibration from the operation of the truck.
• Contends with low-sun glare, as well as glare from other vehicles.
• The driver complains of sore hands and wrists at the end of the day.
• The driver, from the sendentary nature of the job, is overweight and gets tired easily.

I can't promise an exact date for responding with answers to this case study because I am moving to a new house in Edmonton, Alberta this weekend, and I am unsure of my laptop's ability to connect with the wireless hub there. If everything goes smoothly, expect the next post early next week, on Monday or Tuesday.

Have a great weekend!
