Indianapolis Trucking Accident Injury Attorneys

Tabor Law Firm takes driver log violations seriously. Commercial freight truck drivers are required to keep a log for recording hours of service information at required intervals for over-the-road deliveries. Section 395.15 of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations are clear that failure to complete the record of duty activities, or making a false report in the log, make the driver and/or the carrier liable to prosecution.

The FMCSR are clear about the number of hours a truck driver may be behind the wheel, determined by the class of load and vehicle being driven. The driver's log is checked by FMCSA officials at weigh stations located along Interstates across America. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration gathers annual records of accidents involving truck drivers and has found that accidents often involve driver log violations.
