Truck Accidents

Some of the reasons why truck accidents happen are as follows:

* The driver is trying to meet a deadline
* Traffic delays have frustrated the driver
* The driver is tired because of their long hours
* The driver is not trained properly
* The driver is not certified for that truck size
* Following too close to stop correctly for the weight of vehicle and cargo
* The cargo was not loaded correctly
* The truck equipment is not safe for the road – especially tires and brakes
* Too many distractions in the cab of the truck
