Common Causes of Commercial Vehicle Collisions
Statistics by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) revealed many of the common causes associated with large commercial vehicles in the United States that include:
- Aggressive Behavior – Any driver recklessly operating their vehicle could cause severe injury or wrongful death of innocent passengers or other motorists.
- Distracted Driving – 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.
- Drowsy Driving – Maintaining tight schedules often means the trucker must drive for hours on end, which can lead to fatigue and drowsy driving.
- Driving Under the Influence – It is illegal to consume too much alcohol or use illicit drugs while operating a motor vehicle. This reckless behavior could create a dangerous or life-threatening scenario.
- Improper Truck Maintenance – All commercial trucking companies must ensure the upkeep on their commercial vehicles is maintained. The company and the trucker can be held legally liable if faulty equipment or poor vehicle maintenance causes a crash.
- Unsafe Driving Practices – Truckers log thousands of miles each week crisscrossing North America on the interstate system. The extended periods behind the wheel can become monotonous, leading to road rage, failure to use turn signals, and unexpected lane changes.
Sometimes, the commercial vehicle driver will cause a crash because of their erratic movements or failure to ensure there was enough distance between their vehicle and those sharing the roadway. In these cases, both the trucking company and the truck driver could be held legally responsible for the crash and pay all associated costs and expenses that led to severe injury or wrongful death.

Prime Freight Accidents
According to statistics maintained by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, truck driving mistakes cause nearly ninety percent of all truck-related accidents each year. Truckers are ten times more likely to be ‘at fault’ for the accident compared to road conditions, inclement weather, and other factors. Distractions and inattention while driving an 80,000-pound fully loaded semi-tractor-trailer and unfamiliarity with the road ahead accounts for most of the 5000+ commercial vehicle-related accidents every year.
Prime Freight, like the other leading commercial vehicle transport companies in the trucking industry, must ensure that their deliveries remain on time as scheduled to remain competitive. Unfortunately, unrealistic schedules forced truckers to make poor decisions, work overtime, and drive much longer each day than they should to meet the demands of their job.
