NYC Truck Accident Lawyer Discusses Winter Time Tractor Trailer Hazards

Posted by Frekhtman & Associates

in Accidents, Semi Truck Accidents, Tractor Trailer Accidents, Truck Accidents, Vehicle Accidents

Truck Accidents are more dangerous because of the heavy loads trailers carry and are much more dangerous in the winter. A loaded trailer on an 18-wheeler can be 30,000 to 70,000 pounds. Most companies and owner-operators try to operate their vehicles safely, but winter driving introduces additional hazards. These include ice, snow, sleet, freezing rain, and foggy conditions. Tractor trailers and other big commercial vehicles still have the same disadvantages they have in good weather. Their huge mass makes it harder for a driver to stop or dodge a hazard on the road. Trucks are more vulnerable to strong cross winds. A...
