Heavy vehicle drivers wanted

For any truck driver who would like to help researchers examine the effects of fatigue, and earn some cash, Victoria's Monash University is currently looking for heavy vehicle operators to help with its latest study.

What does the study involve?
>> Driving your vehicle while it's fitted with alertness monitoring technology.
>> Completing a brief reaction time test on a (supplied) iPad before, during and after each work shift.
>> Wearing an activity monitor on your wrist.
>> Filling in a daily sleep and work diary.
>> Participants will be reimbursed up to $500 for their time.

Drivers may be eligible if they:
>> Drive a heavy vehicle under either Standard of BFM regulations.
>> Work 30-plus hours a week on average.
>> Complete some night driving (between midnight and 6:00am).
>> Consent to provide a hair sample for drug testing at the start and end of the study (the results of which will be confidential).
