This isn't entirely accurate; in reality, Swift and most major carriers generally have better safety ratings compared to many other carriers.

As of today, CDL holders who remain in prohibited Clearinghouse status due to drug or alcohol violations face the downgrading of their CDL if they haven’t completed the Return-to-Duty process. The issue runs much deeper than compliance or keeping drivers in seats with a card in their pocket. It’s a symptom of the hidden struggles of the trucking life, which often breeds isolation, mental health struggles, and addiction. Imagine living in a truck for weeks, sometimes months. For many drivers, the cab of their truck is their home. Their world becomes a blur of truck stops, shared facilities, traffic jams, and relentless pressure to perform. Add to that the isolation of being away from family, the lack of access to real, and nutritious food, the uncertainty of income, and the constant stress of tight delivery windows. These conditions are a breeding ground for mental health, fitness, and overall wellness struggles. Depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress are not uncommon among truck drivers, and these struggles can manifest in unhealthy coping mechanisms, including drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Studies show that the average life expectancy of a truck driver is just 61 years old. This inspired initiatives like PROJECT 61 and Offshift that advocate for better driver health and wellness. But what often gets overlooked is how mental health directly ties into these issues and statistics. Substance use is both a cause and a symptom of the mental and physical toll this lifestyle takes. We often talk about addiction in terms of individual choice, but for truck drivers, it’s often a symptom of a system that leaves them overworked, underappreciated, and struggling to cope. Simply "Band-Aiding" the issue by rushing drivers through the Return-to-Duty process to keep trucks moving ignores the root causes and leaves the problem unresolved. While compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration regulations is a big part, we need to take a more compassionate approach. Instead of focusing solely on getting drivers back on the road, we should be helping them rebuild their lives, physically, mentally, and emotionally. How an industry can make a difference: Support Programs for Mental Health and Addiction Recovery: Partner with addiction treatment and counseling organizations. Wellness Initiatives: Offer fitness programs, nutritional guidance, and access to resources that promote overall health. Education and Training: Equip drivers with tools to manage stress, combat isolation, and maintain work-life balance. Community Building: Develop a sense of connection by encouraging driver support groups and peer mentorship programs. Proactive Mental Health Resources: Provide telehealth options for therapy and mental health support, especially for drivers on the road.
