While commercial trucks accidents make up less than 3% of all accidents, they are one of the most dangerous accidents to be involved in. Eighteen wheelers can weigh as much as 16 times the weight of an average car, causing impact to be massive. These accidents often result in catastrophic injuries or death. In 2007, almost 5,000 people died in crashes involving large trucks.

Commercial truck drivers are at fault for 30% of the accidents they are involved with. A common reason for their negligence is exhaustion.
