Over two days, the government agencies inspected commercial vehicles on I-10 between the Arizona-New Mexico border and the Maricopa-Pinal county line. The agencies found that many of the truck drivers were violating federal laws. Phillips Law Group wants Arizona residents to be aware that numerous truck drivers are violating the law and putting other motorists in harm’s way.
The DPS found that 109 truck drivers were in violation of driving hours and these drivers were taken off of the road. While 44 trucks were taken off of the road for safe loading and equipment violations. Some of the equipment violations included issues with the brakes, lamps, steering, suspension, tires and wheels.
The government has implemented laws regarding how much weight commercial vehicles can carry, the number of hours drivers can be on the road and how often equipment has to be inspected to protect the public’s safety. Fatigued drivers, improperly loaded trucks and faulty equipment can result in a truck accident.
Individuals that have been involved in a truck crash due to the negligent actions of another may be eligible for legal and financial recourse.
