Federal law requires Truck drivers to keep a log of their hours.
This log reflects when they start their day, all stops along the way, and certifies that they have inspected their vehicles.
These logs can also be used as evidence that the driver was speeding between his last stop and where the wreck occurred,
or that he suffered from driver fatigue because of the number of hours he spent on the road.
We look to see how well the tractor and the trailer are maintained.
Plus these trucking companies must use strict standards when they hire these truck drivers.
(3) Pay attention to the trucks turn signals and don’t travel for long periods of time next to a tractor trailer.
