Trucking Regulations

The Trucking Industry IS HIGHLY REGULATED

Truckers often are under pressure to move their product quickly. Trucking companies unfortunately sometimes place profits above public safety. They might cut corners and ignore the federal and state guidelines and regulations that govern the industry.

If you or a loved one was injured due to the negligence of a truck driver or truck company, don't hesitate to contact an experienced attorney at Peake & Fowler. We are prepared to examine your accident. In our investigation, we may discover the trucking company violated regulations, which can be a form of negligence in an accident.

Trucking Regulations Can Be Complex

The federal agency charged with overseeing the industry is called the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. The regulations governing interstate traffic can be confusing. An experienced attorney can explain the complexities of the law and how it relates to your case.

As part of our work on your case, we may examine the following:

  • The driver's background
  • Fleet maintenance records
  • The trucking company's hiring, training or supervising practices
  • The truck driver's log
  • The driver's history of accidents or moving violations
