Electronic Onboard Recorders May Prevent Tractor-Trailer Accident Injuries
By Shapiro, Lewis & Appleton, Virginia Truck Accident Attorneys
Tractor-trailer drivers have their own language. They call a piece of retread in the middle of the road a “gator” and a state police officer a “full-grown bear.” Truckers also have the not-so-quaint habit of calling their driving records, which all U.S. commercial drivers are required to keep by federal law, “comic books.” In other words, self-reports of hours spent behind the wheel and miles traveled are inaccurate to a laughable degree. What’s the answer? Our Virginia (VA) tractor-trailer accident attorneys think it is electronic onboard recorders for tractor-trailers.
