When commercial truck drivers or trucking companies fail to adhere to these safety regulations, they put the lives with those they share the road with in danger.

However, truck drivers and their trucking companies to violate state and federal laws for trucks to increase profits and productivity. When someone is hurt or killed, these parties must be held responsible for their blatant disregard for safety regulations.
