Austin Truck Accident Attorney: Regulation Violations

Trucking Regulations

All 18-wheel trucks operating in the transportation industry must comply with both state and federal regulations. Failure to follow these regulations can put lives in danger. Some of the transportation regulations include:

• Hiring qualified drivers with a safe driving record as well as conducting regular drug testing for drivers.
• Ensuring that drivers are receiving adequate sleep to perform their tasks and keeping an accurate log book recording their driving times and breaks.
• Driver log books must also include a record of frequent inspection of the vehicle and safety equipment.
• Commercial trucking companies are required to maintain adequate liability insurance, typically in excess of $750,000.
