TRUCK CRASHES CAN BE DISASTROUS AND LIFE ALTERING.
CONTACT US TODAY FOR HELPTrucking companies have put ever-increasing pressure on their drivers to meet unrealistic deadlines. This has led to a rise in unsafe driving behavior from big rig operators. They may drive when fatigued, fail to take the time to properly inspect their vehicles or loads, disregard poor road conditions or adverse weather, or drive too fast to get somewhere by a certain time. Beyond this pressure, truck companies seeking to improve their bottom line may take shortcuts when it comes to hiring, screening and training drivers. They may not properly maintain their fleet. Any of these factors could lead to an accident — and potentially catastrophic injuries.
