Carbon Monoxide Awareness

[rode2rouen]

The article on the front page regarding the driver found dead in his rig got me thinking about CO and how it can affect someone in a closed sleeper area. While I didn't find much that was directly related to trucking, I did find one site that is VERY informative.

Check out: www.avweb.com/news/aeromed/186016-1.html

While CO poisioning may or may not have been an issue in this specific situation, it is something that everyone should be aware of.

I've got a detector that I keep sitting on the top shelf. It runs off a 9v battery. I'm not worried about my truck so much as someone parking next to me being a problem. It's definitely worth the $20 for a detector in my opinion.
