Truck Accidents in Pittsburgh
As you know, trucks carry tons of additional weight as opposed to passenger vehicles. These alone means truck drivers have a bigger responsibility on our roads. They face bigger blind spots and slower brake times. Often times, they are also solely focused on staying on the road longer than is allowed by standard regulations. Companies often push their drivers to deliver more and deliver faster than what drivers can handle. This means truck drivers are under extreme pressure. They will often alter their log books by saying they took rest breaks when in actuality they didn’t. There are many reasons truck accidents happen but the most common are maintenance issues, driver fatigue, distracted driving, impairment, and speeding. Even the most minor mistake can leave devastating consequences.
