Four Examples Of Dangerous Trucking Company Practices
Here are a few types of trucking company negligence that can lead to catastrophic collisions with other vehicles or pedestrians:
- Overloading or improperly loading the vehicles — When a company exceeds the vehicle’s weight limit or loads it in a way that makes it unbalanced, the truck can become difficult to maneuver or hard to stop
- Providing insufficient training — A truck company has the responsibility to thoroughly train its employees on how to operate a large motor vehicle safely. Failure to do so can cause serious accidents.
- Pressuring drivers to drive too fast or too long — Unrealistic expectations and deadlines can make truckers feel like they must speed or drive without breaks in order to succeed.
- Failing to maintain the vehicles — Like all machines, 18-wheelers and other trucks require regular maintenance to keep them functional.
