Trucking Cases Are Not Car Cases — Here's Why It Matters

Tractor-trailers can weigh 80,000 pounds. When they hit a passenger vehicle, the physics are unforgiving — and the legal landscape is just as harsh. Trucking companies are governed by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), which means there are reams of records — hours-of-service logs, maintenance reports, drug test results, electronic logging device data — that simply don't exist in a normal car case. Those records vanish fast. We send legal preservation letters within 24 hours of being retained.
