ORLANDO, Fla. – If you’ve ever found yourself driving next to a big rig on the highway, you know it can feel a little intimidating. But beyond their sheer size, there’s something many drivers don’t think about — the large blind spots truck drivers deal with every time they’re on the road.

These areas are known as “No Zones.”

No Zones are the spots around a semi-truck where the driver has little to no visibility of other vehicles. They exist along both sides of the truck, directly in front, and especially behind the trailer.

These blind spots are much bigger than those on a passenger car, meaning even a small car can disappear completely from the driver’s view.
