What Is 18 Wheeler Law?
Accidents involving commercial truck drivers, their rigs, and 18 wheelers are covered by the 18 wheeler law. These massive vehicles must follow strict federal guidelines for maintenance security, safety, and training.
Trucking companies often force their drivers to work for longer and alter logbooks. This can lead trucking accidents to be catastrophic.
Weight Regulations
Knowing the weight limits for semi trucks is essential. The majority of states have single axle and group axle limits on weight that must be adhered to. Weigh stations are common along interstates where truckers are weighed to ensure that they don't over the weight limit for their vehicle or load. If a trucker is found breaking these limits they could face fines or even imprisoned depending on their criminal record and the state.
Axle groups have an upper limit due to the fact that distributing the weight across multiple axles makes the vehicle safer and allows for more cargo to be transported. For instance one tire on an axle is able to weigh 650 pounds per inch of wheel's diameter. However, when there are 2 tires on that same axle it can be weighted at 1300 pounds for each tire.
There are also restrictions on the type of trailers that can be used with a tractor. Some states allow only one trailer, while others allow triple or twin trailers. In addition, some states require the fifth wheel to be installed on the trailer, which is a rounded plate on top of the drive wheels, which connects (hooks) the trailer to the tractor unit. Day cab tractor models and sleeper cabs can be found. They all have sleeping spaces in the tractor unit.
Lane Restrictions
Truck drivers must abide by speed limits and traffic signals in addition to lane restrictions. Trucks are not allowed to operate at the same speed as cars for passengers. If they do, accidents can occur. In a lot of cases the truck driver is the culprit in these accidents. This is due to truck drivers being able to drive for longer than allowed, break hours-of-service rules, or be distracted or sleepy behind the driving.
Truck drivers are also prohibited from driving in the left right lane. Trucks brake more slowly than cars that are primarily passenger vehicles. This could result in a risky situation, especially for smaller vehicles that could be stuck behind trucks when they suddenly slow down or stop.
Certain states prohibit the use of lane lanes in certain circumstances, while some states limit the use of lanes for large trucks. These laws could be based either on the weight of the vehicle or axel limits. In other situations they may be based solely on the vehicle's description.
