Los Angeles Trucking Companies Negligence

By Ruth Ross


The trucking industry is a hugely important part of commerce. We rely on trucks to carry and deliver important packages as well as things like building materials, road construction items, and many other items. At the same time, truck drivers are responsible for driving large, powerful, and heavy vehicles that can cause devastating accidents. To help prevent accidents, the government regulates certain safety standards that Los Angeles trucking companies must follow.

Consequently, if the trucking company doesn't want you to own the truck, they can simply cut down the number of loads they offer you. You cannot take that truck and go to a different trucking company. If your budget was based on you having a certain number of loads each week and you don't get them, you can quickly find yourself short of the required funds to make the payments.

There is also the factor concerning the old saying, "There is always two sides to a story." A driver could be blasting a particular company but how do you know that the driver was really not the one at fault? All these forums are good tools to use in order to check out trucking companies or particular truck driving jobs, but they are not 100% fool proof.

One thing about truck drivers is that they have no problem when it comes to speaking their minds. But after spending hours and hours searching through the forums and sorting through pages and pages of company listings, you may still find yourself totally confused on what to believe.

Also, when truck agencies look to hire new employees, they must find licensed, safe drivers to put on the road. Additionally, they should properly train these drivers so that they can safely operate the vehicle. Unsafe, untrained truck drivers may not be able to fully control their vehicles.

Your truck may be located in a different state. Typically, the truck company will give you a bus ticket to enable you to get to the location of the truck. You might be in for a surprise to get to the location and discover that the truck is not even driveable. Again, you will be informed that the truck is yours and any repairs needed are your responsibility. You can argue all you want, but it will be to no avail. Consequently, if you don't have available funds for repairs, you are certainly getting off to a bad start.

Next, tractor-trailer agencies sometimes fail to train their drivers making them in danger on the road. As the shipping industry continues to grow with an increase in online shopping, commercial truck agencies are responding to the increasing demand by hiring new drivers. However as driving a tractor-trailer requires certain skills for a safety, new drivers need to be properly trained to handle such a large vehicle. In some cases, tractor-trailer agencies may refuse to spend the money on time and labor required for training new drivers, which puts another motorist in danger with the inexperienced driver.

You want a "list" of only the names of truck companies that are considered to be the best of the best, as well as "why" they are considered the better ones. If you cannot find the "why"... Then what is the purpose of the list?
