MS Trucking Accidents Or Wrecks – No Speeding

Mississippi Trucking Wreck or Accident – Trucking Companies Must Schedule Loads Giving a Truck Driver Time For Safe Delivery

by Jay Foster, Mississippi Trucking Wreck Attorney

Frequently, trucking wrecks and accidents with 18 wheelers happens because the driver is in a hurry and speeding.  The truck driver is forced to speed because the trucking company has given the driver a schedule that cannot possibly be met without speeding.  However, Title 49 Section 392.6 of the Code of Federal Regulations provides, in pertinent part,

“No motor carrier shall schedule a run nor permit nor require the operation of any commercial motor vehicle between points in such period of time as would necessitate the commercial motor vehicle being operated at speeds greater than those prescribed by the jurisdictions in or through which the commercial motor vehicle is being operated.”
