In 2012 alone, the state experienced 214 fatalities involving a commercial truck, with 185 deaths pertaining to victims in the smaller vehicle. Common types of truck accidents include rollovers and incidents caused by equipment malfunction, along with collisions. 

Driving a tractor-trailer or 18-wheeler truck requires skill and training, with the goal of preventing accidents on our roads. Truck drivers and motor carriers are required to follow strict rules and safety regulations, and violations and mistakes can cause serious and fatal accidents. 

Drivers of commercial trucks are strictly forbidden from consuming alcohol or drugs while operating their vehicle. No amount of physical or mental impairment is acceptable for the driver of a five-ton truck, however, the frightening truth is that some truck drivers do abuse alcohol and drugs.
