Truck Safety
The operation of trucks and tractor trailers is governed by Federal Regulations. Needless brain damage and other personal injury is frequently caused by the failure on the part of truck drivers and the trucking company to follow these federal requirements
These federal trucking regulations require:
- truck drivers to limit the amount of hours they drive each day
- truck drivers to inspect their rigs for mechanical problems and get them fixed before returning to the road
- truck drivers to keep accurate logs of their driving times, driving distances and all stops they make while driving a truck or tractor trailer
- trucking companies to check the driving records of their drivers before they allow them to drive their trucks
