What Causes Commercial Vehicle Accidents?

The number of delivery trucks on the road has been on the rise since online ordering and commercial shipping has increased in popularity. However, unlike semi truck drivers, drivers of delivery truck are not required to have any special license or certification showing they have received training in how to drive a box truck or van safely. Many companies also do not offer new employees any additional training or practice maneuvering these large vehicles. As a result, some drivers of commercial vehicles are not prepared for the weight and decreased maneuverability, and may be more likely to cause commercial vehicle accidents.

Another factor that may contribute to commercial vehicle accidents is the pressure placed on the delivery drivers. Delivery trucks usually operate within one city and have a set number of locations they are required to visit each day. Traffic conditions are always changing, and drivers are more likely to take unnecessary risks if they are rushing to meet their delivery quotas.

To make matters worse, delivery drivers may find that their schedules are overloaded as the delivery companies they work for try to keep up with demands. This is especially true of FedEx, UPS and other trucking companies that experience huge increases in the amount of business around the holidays.

Delivery drivers are sometimes required to work long hours, which could cause dangerous drowsy or distracted driving. They may also speed or drive recklessly in an effort to deliver everything in one day, which has been the cause of many reported UPS trucking and FedEx truck accidents.
