Jefferson County Trucking Accident Lawyers
Since truckers are frequently paid by the mile, they often log significant miles and drive for extended periods of time without rest breaks. Federal laws have been put into effect to require truckers to take adequate rest breaks because it is widely known that truck driver fatigue is a significant contributing factor to truck accidents.
All too often, however, truckers and truck companies ignore these laws and put the safety of others at risk. In fact, a study of commercial drivers that was conducted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Motor Carriers (OMC) found that commercial drivers did not receive adequate rest and were often unable to accurately understand how a lack of sleep adversely impacted their driving.
