Nationwide Insurance/NoCell Partner to Reduce Distracted Driving in Commercial Trucking

A commercial truck driver yawns while driving, with overlaid text asking about the prevalence of distracted driving among commercial truck drivers.

Distracted driving is a major issue we’ve covered frequently on the DLG Blog. In 2019, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) confirmed that 3,142 deaths occurred as a result of distracted driving. Given the prevalence of distracted driving leading to motor vehicle accidents, many organizations are taking steps to help educate and inform drivers in an effort to improve public safety.

How Common is Distracted Driving Among Commercial Truck Drivers?

For example, the NHTSA has enacted to the “Take the Pledge” program aimed at deterring distracted driving. As the program indicates:

  • U Drive.
  • U Text.
  • U Pay.

“People who drive while distracted give themselves a personal pass to risk the safety of others on the road,” according to the NHTSA.

In addition to the NHTSA, which is primarily focused on reducing distracted driving among motorists, companies and organizations are working to improve roadway safety in the commercial trucking industry.

Below we will look at the issue of distracted driving among commercial truck drivers, review the new partnership between Nationwide Insurance and NoCell, and discuss how to file a civil claim in the event of a truck accident injury.
