Safe trucking companies must take adequate precautions to ensure that their drivers do not severely injure or kill members of the public in a trucking accident. Industry standards require trucking companies to regularly inspect their equipment, including their tires. Safe companies must also supervise their driver to ensure that the company’s policies and procedures have been followed. A truck driver must assess the conditions of the roadway while driving, and only drive at an appropriate speed. Failing to do so can result in a loss of control, and jeopardize the lives of other drivers.
