Breakfast

We all know truck drivers work long hours; on average in NSW they're clocking up 62 hours a week, and that load comes at a price -- anxiety, depression, stress and serious alcohol and drug misuse.

Some preliminary research into the mental health of our truck drivers is being released today in the Health Survey of the New South Wales Transport Industry report.
