What happens if the truck driver was working too many hours?

Federal hours-of-service rules exist because fatigued driving is dangerous, especially behind the wheel of an 80,000-pound vehicle. If a driver exceeded the legal limits before a crash, it can be significant evidence of negligence.

We look closely at:

  • Electronic logging device (ELD) data
  • Dispatch records showing pressure to meet delivery deadlines
  • Pay structures that may incentivize speed over safety
  • Patterns of repeated violations by the same driver or company

If a trucking company knowingly allowed a driver to stay on the road past legal limits, that can point to a broader pattern of prioritizing profit over safety. This kind of evidence often plays a major role in these cases, though every situation is different.
