Large tractor-trailers, or 18-wheelers as they are typically called, are more numerous on the highways of Texas now than ever before. With this increase in large truck traffic comes an increase in these commercial vehicles being involved in safety violations and accidents. There are federal and state motor safety regulations which govern the use and operation of these large commercial tractor-trailers. The U.S. Department of Transportation – Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration has a primary mission to prevent commercial motor vehicle – related fatalities and injuries.
