On one hand, there are valid reasons that make many consider if they could do the transporting themselves – budget constraints, issues with trusting another person to transport a highly prized possession, or a simple desire to do it themselves. On the other hand, it could be a pretty dangerous undertaking, especially if one is not used to it.

According to the Department of Transportation, more than half a million trucking accidents happen in the U.S. every year and most of them are caused by a driver of a non-commercial vehicle.

As with any driver on the road, long-haul truckers are at risk of fatigue and its effects on a person’s ability to drive. This, augmented by the long hours on the road day and at night and covering more than 500 kilometers, often is the cause of many accidents. A fatigued driver can easily lose his concentration, repeatedly drift in and out of traffic lanes, and even miss gear changes and turn offs.

From these pieces of information, it is easy to surmise that long distance transport is not something that should be underestimated and should not be undertaken by just anyone who knows how to drive.
