The special responsibilities of truck drivers

Given their widespread presence on our nation’s highways, their commercial purpose, and the risk that their sheer size poses to other vehicles, truck drivers have to meet special federal and state standards. For example, commercial truck drivers have to pass special tests to receive their licenses, and are required by federal law to pass a physical exam every two years. Also, employers of truck drivers are required, in most cases, to periodically test their drivers for controlled substances. These measures are in place to help ensure the safety of all motor vehicles. If truck drivers or employers fail to follow state and federal regulations, then this can be grounds for negligence after a semi-truck accident in the Dallas / Ft. Worth area, North Texas or anywhere in the State of Texas. For more information about the special responsibilities of operators of semi-trucks, contact The Shumaker Law Firm.
