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.
