What Do We Mean By Trucks
We want to make sure that you understand what kinds of trucks we are talking about. Usually, these are commercial vehicles, operated to help some aspect of a company. These activities could include delivery, hauling, storage, maintenance, construction, etc.
Here are some examples of these types of trucks:
- Tractor-trailers
- Flatbeds
- Dump trucks
- Cement mixers
- Refrigerator trucks
- Tankers
- Garbage trucks
- Heavy haulers
Safety Should Come First
Always be vigilant around these types of vehicles. They are usually the largest things on the road and can cause serious damage in an accident.
What could go wrong?
All of these vehicles are supposed to be inspected and tested regularly to ensure they are in roadworthy condition. The company who owns them is responsible for that. If they fail to perform regular inspections, accidents are more likely to occur.
Their drivers should be held to high standards, even after obtaining a commercial drivers license (CDL). Often, accidents involving large trucks are caused by driver errors such as texting and driving.
Types of Problems
An accident involving a large truck does not necessarily mean the truck collides with another vehicle. If sometime falls off the truck, such as a vehicle part or even some of the cargo, significant damage can occur to surrounding vehicles and people. If these items are not secured properly, they can cause just as much damage as a regular vehicle accident.
Any accident with a truck should be investigated to ensure that all regulations, procedures, and laws were followed.
