Introduction

• Trucks have always been the kings of the road and
  when it comes to highways, things get a little
  crazy sometimes. There can be a number of reasons
  responsible for big rig accidents in highways.
  Let us look at a few.

Speeding

  smaller vehicles. And speeding down the highway
  adds to the blow.

Negligent action of truck drivers

• This comes right next to speeding as a
  significant cause of highway accidents for truck
  drivers. It includes anything from distraction,
  misjudgment, talking on phone, poor awareness of
  roads and so on.

5
Mechanical failure

• When on a smooth drive over a highway, the worst
  mishap that can strike is mechanical breakdown.
  Most mechanical failures in rigs occur due to
• Improper maintenance.
• Inadequate training.
• Improper use of equipment.

6
Incorrect load distribution

• While speeding down a highway, the driver's
  ability might be affected by a shift in the load
  in the trailer behind the rig. This is generally
  caused when the load is improperly secured or the
  trailers carry oversized load.

Road and weather conditions

• Highways get affected by snow, rain, wind and the
  likes and they become prone to big rig accidents.
