  2. The majority of products that They purchase or use on a daily basis are shipped from one place to another. This is usually done by commercial trucks, and thanks to them, billions of dollars are made every year in every country around the globe. In America, commercial trucks are a great and important factor in the country’s economy. It takes great skill and technique to be able to drive these leviathans, especially with one or two trailers attached. One mistake could cause a multi-vehicle accident and millions of dollars of damage. When these accidents happen, people die. Those who survive are extremely lucky and usually, end up with severe life-changing injuries.

  3. Facts about overloaded trucks and how deadly they can be while on the road.

  4. Hard To Control Trucks are hard to control even when driven without a trailer due to their sheer size. However, when overloaded with cargo, they become an unstoppable force. The driver should always be aware of the cargo and the speed of the vehicle, and know that the heavier the truck, the more it takes for it to slow down and come to a complete stop. Extra weight puts more pressure on the truck’s brakes, causing an occasional brake failure and tire blowout. If you have been involved in a truck accident, speak with a truck accident attorney in Los Angeles right away to determine liability and seek compensation from the trucking company.

  5. You Can Get Compensated For Your medical bills Your lost wages Your pain and suffering More Weight – Greater Chances of Mechanical Failure

  6. Companies Usually Overload Their Trucks Save the time it takes to transport the cargo Reduce the number of trips the driver has to take Save on driver’s fees Pay less for truck maintenance

  7. But by doing so, they only put themselves and everyone else in danger. Every overloaded truck has a high chance of a mechanical failure. The same thing happens if the cargo is not evenly split among the trailers (or inside one of the trailers); if one of the axles is overloaded, the load may become unbalanced during transport. A simple lane change or sudden movement can cause the load to become unbalanced, flipping the truck over or causing the truck to jackknife. When this happens, innocent people usually pay the ultimate price. That is why trucking companies should pay more attention to their cargos and their drivers. If you were lucky to have survived a truck accident.!
