Penske Logistics is primarily an LTL (less than truckload) carrier, meaning the company delivers mixed freight. This type of trucking is opposite a Truckload (LT) carrier that delivers trucks containing similar products, goods, and materials to multiple locations.
Penske Logistics Accidents
All commercial vehicle companies working in the trucking industry, including Penske logistics, must maintain a tight schedule to ensure that all their deliveries are made as scheduled. Unfortunately, the increased demand places a harsh burden on the trucker working to meet their deadlines before the time expires. The added pressure ensures that the trucker works long hours even in bed claimant to arrive at their destination on time. As a result, the driver, other motorists, passengers, bicyclists, and pedestrians are in danger of severe injury or death caused by a crash.
According to statistics by the NHTSA, an individual is seriously injured or killed every 15 minutes in America in accidents caused by tractor-trailers (semi-trucks). Approximately 500,000 truck crashes happen every year in America resulting in over 5000 deaths

Filing a Compensation Lawsuit for Personal Injuries Related to a Truck Accident
Every victim injured at-fault in a commercial truck vehicle accident has the right to file a claim or lawsuit, seeking damages from all parties. However, the victim must follow Texas tort laws to build and present a case for compensation. Often, the process is complicated. Usually, the injured victim can file a lawsuit and litigate their case in court or file a claim and negotiate with the insurance company directly to ensure that all responsible parties at fault for the accident pay damages.

Common Causes of a Large Commercial Truck Accident
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) states that truck accidents in the United States often involve:
- Aggressive Behavior – Aggressively operating a vehicle could result in wrongful death or severe injuries of innocent passengers and motorists.
- Distracted Driving – Trucker should avoid the trappings of driving over an extended time, like talking on their mobile device or sending text messages, which could lead to distracted driving.
- Driving under the Influence – Operating a motor vehicle after consuming too much alcohol or taking illegal drugs can create a dangerous situation for everyone sharing the roadway.
- Drowsy Driving – Maintaining tight schedules often means the trucker must drive for hours on end, which can lead to fatigue and drowsy driving.
- Operating a Truck While Sick – According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), one percent of truckers said that they had driven their large commercial vehicle while sick, placing other motorists and passengers at significant risk of injury or death.
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, lawyers can obtain financial compensation for their clients because they proved the trucker, and the trucking company failed to maintain a safe environment for those sharing the roadway which led to an accident.
