Group Questions the Truck Safety Record of Tractor-Trailer Companies in Iowa
Posted on Aug 28, 2009
The American Association for Justice, a lawyers group, has criticized trucking companies in Iowa for having a history of safety violations. Over 950 Iowa trucking firms have been cited for safety violations since 1980. Some of these violations include "defective brakes, bald tires, loads that dangerously exceed weight limits, and drivers with little or no training or drug and alcohol dependencies."
In 2008, 58 people were killed in tractor-trailer crashes involving large trucks. When these safety violations go undetected it is the "unsuspecting motorist who bears the cost" when truck carrier companies put deadly trucks on the road and turn a blind eye to safety.
