Trucking Regulations
Although there is trucking regulations for trucking companies to adhere to in order to ensure the safety of their vehicles, it is extremely difficult for the U.S. Government to enforce these regulations due to lack of resources. There is a shortage of state Troopers on the roads. Weigh stations may not be open for check in. Certain trucking companies may cut corners when it comes to excessive weight loads and maintenance. While truckers may conduct their own inspection before taking a truck on the road, there may be problems that the trucker may not know about. These types of problems may only be uncovered by experts, such as, experts that work with The San Diego Law Office of Marc Mabile. State and Federal Interstate regulations are difficult to enforce in today’s economic times. This is another reason why people may be injured in trucking accidents. In the end, the defendant responsible may be an individual but may also be the trucking company.
