Improperly Loaded Trucks
Truck drivers are constantly pushed to deliver more cargo in a shorter amount of time. Unfortunately, this pressure sometimes results in bad decisions, like improperly loading a semi truck.
Improperly loaded trucks can include:
- Overloaded trucks: Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) regulations limit the weight of commercial trucks. When truckers overload trucks to increase payloads, it can significantly affect braking distance, maneuverability and other factors.
- Unsecured loads: An open trailer hauling large, unwieldy cargo can be extremely dangerous if not properly secured. When such cargo drops off the truck onto the road, other vehicles can collide with it or be forced to make dangerous evasive maneuvers.
