Yes — and often, they’re more responsible than the driver. Under federal and Michigan law, trucking companies have a duty to make sure their drivers are fit, trained, and properly rested before hitting the road.
According to the CDC and NIOSH, fatigue is one of the leading causes of fatal trucking crashes. Many companies pressure drivers to work long hours, falsify logs, or skip rest breaks — all to save time and money.
If fatigue leads to a crash, the company can be held liable for:
- Negligent supervision or training
- Violating federal hours-of-service rules
- Encouraging unsafe schedules
