Holland Motor Freight Truck Accident Attorney
Founded in Michigan in 1929, Holland Motor Freight became one of the largest LTL (less than truckload) freight haulers in America. In 1929, TNT acquired the company, which in 1996 became USF Holland. In 2005, YRC worldwide acquired the company that it is today. The company has a reputation as one of the best next day delivery service providers in the territory.
The company operates more than 5400 tractors and over 6000 tractor-trailers on the YRC sixty terminal network. In 2018, Holland trucking generated in annual revenue of more than $1,132,000,000. Company employees work from a median salary of $43,000 annually, where truck drivers earn more than $72,000 a year.
While USF Holland delivers primarily in the Central United States, it has expanded operations to the southeast and Midwest. Its more than 600 employees provide full state regional delivery to numerous states, including Wisconsin, Illinois, Tennessee, Indiana, South Carolina, Iowa, Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky, Minnesota, North Carolina, and Missouri. Also, the company delivers to Québec and Ontario provinces in Canada.
Regional services are also available for West Virginia, Alabama, Georgia, South Dakota, New York, Kansas, Pennsylvania, and Nebraska. Deliveries throughout the continental United States are also available through its sister company USF Reddaway.
Holland is a Truckload (LT) carrier, meaning the company delivers one truckload containing similar products, goods, and materials to multiple locations. This type of trucking is the opposite of an LTL (less than truckload) carrier with a mixed freight.
Accidents Involving Holland Trucking
Like all major trucking companies, USF Holland must maintain tight schedules and short deadlines to ensure that all their packages in goods are delivered on time. The stress of on-time delivery increases the potential risk of a trucker having an accident causing severe injuries and wrongful death.

Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Collisions
According to the NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration), many accidents in the United States, including commercial trucks, involve:
Aggressive Driving Behavior – Any aggressive behavior by a motorist involved in a collision could kill, injure, or maim innocent victims, including passengers and other drivers.
Driving Distracted – The trucker should never use their mobile phone, send text messages, or read their email while operating their commercial vehicle. Distracted driving could lead to severe harm or death.
Driving Impaired – If the truckers involved in an accident, law enforcement will often perform a test at the accident scene to determine if the truck driver consumed alcohol or took illegal drugs.
Drowsy Driving – Operating a commercial vehicle over long hours can cause drowsy driving, which could lead to catastrophic harm to innocent victims.
Negligent Driving – Operating the vehicle recklessly, at high speeds, or erratically changing lanes can increase the potential risk of causing an accident with serious injuries or preventable fatalities.
Sometimes, a commercial vehicle driver will cause an accident because of erratic movements, or they were fatigued, having worked too many hours on a tight schedule. In these cases, the trucker and the trucking company should be held legally liable for causing the crash and all the costs associated with injuries or wrongful death of innocent victims.
