Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations

Do you need a truck accident lawyer to help you understand the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations?

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR are a set of laws that truck drivers and truck companies must follow when they are operating their trucks interstate (from state to state.)

One area the FMCSR cover is the amount of time a truck driver can drive without a break. It is common to find a truck driver operating over the hours as set out in the FMCSR. In addition, trucking companies more likely than not, do nothing to prevent this dangerous behavior, even though they are required to.

These records will help determine whether the truck driver was operating in violation of any of the federal regulations.
