Truck drivers are pressured by dispatch managers or companies to take loads even when fatigued, leading to potential safety issues and disciplinary actions.

There is no system in place to protect drivers from being penalized for refusing unsafe loads due to fatigue, nor a mechanism to verify driver fitness in a way that is trusted by both drivers and management.
