Long hauls and tight delivery schedules push drivers to exceed safe limits. Fatigue impairs reaction time much like alcohol.
The Fatigue Problem
Hours-of-Service Rules
Federal regulations cap driving hours and require rest breaks. Electronic logging devices record compliance — or violations.
Proving a Violation
Logs, dispatch records, and fuel receipts can reveal a driver who was on the road too long. This evidence must be preserved before it is overwritten.
Why It Strengthens Your Claim
A clear hours-of-service violation is strong evidence of negligence and can implicate the trucking company directly. A free review helps secure it.
