“…[21] However, it is well known that aging hurts driver performance. Young drivers are susceptible to insufficient sleep time and poor sleep habits [17]. This is consistent with the research of Philips et al [22].…”

“…Rosso et al [14] stated that truck drivers who were over 55 years were five times more likely to fall asleep at the wheel and fatigue than those under 55 years old. However, another study conducted by Tàpia-Caballero et al [17] showed sleepiness was negatively correlated with age and openness to experience. A conflict result was found by a cross-sectional study from Perttula et al [13], which showed gender, age and length of work experience were not statistically related to driver's fatigue.…”

Fatigue is a significant dominating risk factor for transport workers, especially for long-distance truck drivers. Fatigued driving can easily lead to decreasing the drivers' judgment ability, slow reaction, and an increase of operational errors, and as well as increased probability of road traffic accidents. This study's aim is to identify the current evidence of risk factors contributing to fatigue for truck drivers. A literature search was made in 2021 and included articles back to the last ten years. All the factors can be divided into three aspects: demographics, workrelated and driver-related factors. The results showed that fatigue was closely related to travel-based payment, long shift, long-distance travel, and lack of sleep. However, conflicting results were found in terms of age and smoking. Therefore, more research is needed.

Aim The job of a driver, particularly that of a public transportation driver, is a complex activity, requiring the mental and physical integrity of the operator. The presence of altered health status, fatigue related to prolonged driving, and all those conditions that interfere with the worker’s performance contribute to an increased risk of traffic accidents and occupational injuries. The aim of the study is to evaluate in an Italian transportation company how work-related stress and positivity affect the health-related quality of life of employees. Subject and methods A cross-sectional study was carried out from July 2019 to January 2020. Participants filled out a questionnaire divided into four sections (registry and socio-demographic, Karasek’s Job Content Questionnaire, Short Form 12 Survey, Positivity Scale) that aimed to gather information on work stress factors and health-related quality of life and positivity. Results Two hundred eight individuals responded to the questionnaire, including drivers and company staff. Significant differences were observed for the PCS dependent variable: in married participants (p = 0.026), in participants with children (p = 0.002) in the univariate analysis, and bivariate with the MCS variable (p = 0.001). Significant differences were observed for the MCS dependent variable only in the bivariate analysis: PCS (p = 0.001). Conclusion In this transport company, there was a high level of health-related work well-being in each of the activities carried out within it, since positivity was strongly associated with both physical and mental factors and given the homogeneity of the job demand and decision latitude.
