Truck drivers have one of the country's most hazardous jobs.
In some states, driving an 80,000-pound vehicle can be even more risky. Here's where truck drivers are statistically most likely to get into a fatal accident. Of all fatalities on the road, 2.4% nationwide are truck drivers, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. But in some states, that number is much higher. At 8.8%, North Dakota has the highest truck-driver fatality rate in the country. That's partially due to the state's oil boom.
