Semi-tractor-trailer trucks, big-rigs, 18-wheelers, and trucks are vital and necessary to keep America’s infrastructure running.  Trucks transport containers which carry clothing, supplies, food, materials, electronics, and machinery to their final destination.

Truck Drivers Have a Date and Time They Must Make Their Delivery By

All truck drivers have a required timeframe in which they must make their delivery.  These timetables set by the trucking companies are so strenuous that the truck drivers are forced to drive long-hours in every type of weather and road-condition.  Truck drivers tend to do whatever they can to remain awake and continue driving for as many hours as possible to make their delivery on time or early.  For most truck drivers, they receive a bonus if they manage to make their delivery early.

Despite Commercial Trucking Being Regulated Heavily, Many Trucking Accidents Still Occur

Trucking is one of the most highly-regulated industries in America. Not only does the U.S. Government have certain regulations for interstate trucking, all States, including California, have also set certain restrictions to help reduce trucking accidents in Burbank, Glendale and Pasadena.  Some of these safety precautions include limiting truck speeds, length of the towed trailers, weight of the trailers, how many hours a truck driver may drive before having to take a break, as well as how many hours each truck driver should rest or sleep before beginning to drive again.  Failure of the truck drivers to abide by these rules may cause them to be penalized quite substantially, but these rules are in place to reduce or prevent injuries to other passengers on the road, which may include death.

Trucking Accidents Occur When Truck Drivers Disobey Trucking Regulations

When truck drivers or the transportation companies attempt to disobey these rules to save their shareholders a few cents, we as passengers who are injured by their negligence are the ones who suffer in Burbank, Pasadena, and Glendale.  Some of the ways they may attempt to circumvent these rules include overloading the truck with more cargo, so more gets delivered, but this may result in the truck’s brakes to fail resulting in a fatal trucking accident.  The drivers may also be sleep-deprived in an attempt to  make their deliveries early, which may cause them to fall-asleep while driving which could also cause fatal injuries to anyone of us.
