White House and US DOT honor Daphner Izer who started Parents Against Tired Truckers after her son and 3 friends were killed by an overly-tired trucker who fell asleep behind the wheel

After her son Jeff was killed in a truck accident 20 years ago, Daphne Izer started Parents Against Tired Truckers. She dedicated herself to protect others from becoming casualties of fatigued truck drivers and created a national standard for the use of Electronic Logging Devices. A few days ago Daphne was honored as a “Champion of Change” by the White House and the US Department of Transportation.
