On the tiredness and dozing off at the wheel, the recognition and education as well as a measure are insufficient in truckers, transportation business and the government authorities. As a matter of fact, in municipal law there is no any regulation on the dozing off at the wheel in the road traffic act. Generally, container truckers are in danger of dozing off at the wheel because of the oppression of transportation time they should keep and the point that they should drive at night. A heavy-duty truckers are more likely to be involved in the accidents from tiredness and the lack of sleep because they have to drive for miles and miles during the night due to transportation in time, the lack of infra structure of the industry, and distinctiveness in their business. Because of the nature of domestic trucker's occupation, the number of operation times and the distance are directly related to the income, so they try to save the time. This load of mentality and time results in tiredness and dozing off at the wheel. The accident from that makes a traffic congestion and affects the arrival of goods. Therefore, in this study, the effects on the dozing off at the wheel of truckers who are involved in freight business are investigated, which will be helpful for arranging measures and guides reducing the risk of sleepiness for drivers.
