WHY 18-WHEELER CRASHES HAPPEN

Professional truck drivers required to have specialized training in safety and follow specific regulations establishing the minimum safe conduct for both drivers and their companies. Unfortunately, drivers and their companies cut corners and frequently put profit ahead of safety endangering the motoring public.

Sometimes truck drivers can be driving their 18-wheeler after they must stop operating the vehicle. Hours of Service violations are ordinary and lead to tired and fatigued driving.

With the shortage of truck drivers, many companies are hiring drivers not qualified to operate such a large vehicle which leads to truck crashes.

Some tractor-trailer collisions happen merely because the driver ignores the rules of the road that apply to everyone or violates the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations.

Whether the driver was impaired, fell asleep at the wheel, following closely, speeding or not paying attention to the cars around them, contacting a leading 18-wheeler accident attorney quickly after an incident is a smart choice.
