Trucking Regulations

Some of the most common truck company laws regulate the following:

  • The number of hours a driver may operate their truck each day
  • How often a truck is inspected
  • The amount of weight a truck may carry
  • Licenses and truck operations

Although most truck companies follow the law, some drivers and businesses try to cut corners which puts everyone at risk. When accidents happen due to such careless behavior, you need someone who is willing to stand up to these companies and their drivers.
