Did You Know?

Here’s an important fact: The Commonwealth Transportation Board in Virginia is responsible for adopting motor carrier safety regulations (Va. Code § 33.1-12(3)). Such regulations cover requirements concerning how many hours a truck driver is allowed to drive during a 24-hour period, and more. In the state of Virginia, that total is 13 hours. These rules are in place to prevent truck accidents caused by driver fatigue, which is a common cause of crashes. 

In addition, truck drivers and their employers are required to keep driving logs. In these logs, drivers record their trip information and time on the roadways. These records are helpful in proving the truck driver’s or company’s negligence in the case of an accident. If a driver was over his or her 13-hour limit, then he or she is likely responsible for the accident.

Time Is Ticking
