Tampa Tractor Trailer & Commercial Truck Accident Attorneys

The U.S. trucking industry is one of the largest in the world, with approximately 15.5 million trucks operating in the country.  Given the large number of trucks on the road and the expansive distances traveled by the trucks, trucking hazards are an every-day risk for other drivers on the road.  When driving behind a large, slow-moving truck, it may seem easiest to speed up and quickly move past the truck. But knowing how to do so can mean life or death.  More than 250,000 accidents between passenger cars and semi trucks happen each year. Read More

Proposed Trucking Regulation Aims to Reduce Speed-Related Accidents and Fatalities

The Department of Transportation, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) have proposed regulations to limit the speed of large trucks, buses and other large commercial vehicles while traveling on highways. The proposed regulation would require such large vehicles (weighing more than 26,000 pounds) to be equipped with an electrical speed limiting device to cap or limit the maximum speed of the vehicle to 60, 65 or 68 miles per hour. Vehicles weighing more than 26,000 pounds typically include multipurpose passenger vehicles, trucks, buses and school buses, as well as big rigs, tractor trailers, dump trucks, and other large commercial work trucks/vehicles.Read More

FHP Targeting Aggressive Car and Truck Drivers

The Florida Highway Patrol (FHP) is implementing an additional statewide enforcement period for the Ticketing Aggressive Cars and Trucks (TACT) campaign, which will run through June 30.  The TACT campaign aims to reduce commercial motor vehicle related crashes, injuries and fatalities by highlighting the dangers of aggressive driving behaviors, such as following too closely, unsafe lane changes and speeding violations, when interacting with large trucks and commercial vehicles on the road.
