Trucking Regulations That Could Impact Your Case
Over the years, the federal Department of Transportation has developed numerous regulations to reduce the number of serious injuries and deaths from accidents involving heavy trucks.
Here are some examples of truck safety regulations:
- Trucking companies must hire qualified drivers and perform periodic drug tests on drivers
- Truck drivers must keep a safe driving record to maintain their commercial driver’s license
- Truck drivers must follow Hours-of-Service laws to prevent accidents caused by fatigue
- Trucking companies must perform regular maintenance of brakes and other safety equipment
- Drivers must perform pre-trip inspections of the lights and other safety equipment
- Loads must be properly secured
- Trucks must not carry excessive weight
California also has laws that apply to truck traffic in our state. The sooner you contact us after an accident, the sooner we collect and preserve evidence of state and federal safety violations, which can make a big difference in your case.
