Trucking companies themselves often bear a great deal of responsibility in commercial vehicle accidents. These companies may put innocent lives at risk by careless actions including: Enforcing or encouraging unrealistic schedules Inadequate vehicle inspections and maintenance Failure to monitor drivers’ hours for time on and rest Encouraging transport overloading The sad truth is that some companies put profit before safety and then try to limit the compensation victims need when accidents occur.
