Operating a commercial truck requires far more training and responsibility than driving a passenger car. The U.S. has established strict Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) standards to ensure only qualified and fit drivers handle large trucks.
The trucking industry in the United States is one of the most heavily regulated sectors of transportation. These regulations exist to protect public safety and establish clear standards for drivers, companies, and vehicles.
Truck accident cases in the United States operate within a dual legal framework shaped by both federal and state laws. Understanding how these layers interact is essential for determining liability and compliance.
