They face the extreme weather conditions, uneven road paths and still deliver the goods to the destined place. They face many hurdles on the way to mention a few – robbery, bribe the police and miss their family in this long journey. They face emotional problems like loneliness, not satisfied in their relationships, depression, anxiety among others. Due to this strenuous job the health problems they face are back pain, headache and vision problems. Since they are away from home they depend on the foods that are unhealthy for the body. On the whole this article reviews the overall problems faced by the long route truck drivers. This paper is based on the research articles published on the given topic.
