18-wheelers can weigh up to 80,000 pounds and travel at high speeds on highways throughout Wisconsin and nationwide. Because of the speed and mass involved in semi-truck travel, it is crucial that trucks are properly maintained and that drivers are responsible and adequately trained. When any one of these elements is missing, it can result in a dangerous 18-wheeler accident.
