This report describes Phase I of a two-phased assessment of the effects of loading and unloading cargo on truck drivers alertness and performance. The report, which documents work done on three Phase I tasks, contains: (1) a comprehensive behavioral and physiological sciences literature review regarding sustained performance and operator fatigue, with a focus on the effects of expanding physical work energy on operator fatigue; (2) a characterization of commercial motor vehicle industry procedures, methods and practices concerning drivers who load and/or unload their vehicles (trucks/buses). This was accomplished by examining trucking industry trade literature on loading/unloading procedural matters, then conducting a questionnaire survey of over 300 truck drivers, followed by sixteen focus group interviews to understand driver loading/unloading requirements across the country; and (3) a behavioral task analysis assessment of various driver loading and unloading scenarios in four cargo commodity groups: moving household furniture and goods, tank truck carrier operations, fast food supply delivery, and beverage delivery operations.
