In an earlier life, I worked in the trucking industry. If you refused to drive anytime you were fatigued, you would not be successful in the industry (one reason I am very glad to not be doing that anymore; it's also one of the most dangerous occupations out there, partly for that reason). I think that lots of the people here have never worked a non-privileged job in their lives.

I've seen the results of this first-hand when a big rig about 10 car lengths ahead of me on I-5 abruptly began moving from the right lane through the center median and into the lanes of oncoming traffic.
He slammed into a pickup truck and killed that truck's occupant.
I had to be called in as a witness of the incident by the victim and trucking company's attorneys.
I think there's a strong difference between (rightfully so) blaming the companies that force this environment and the people who are just trying to make a living safely.
