Know your rights

Know your rights

I’ve been driving trucks for over 20 years, and I’ve seen some crazy stuff on the road. But nothing prepared me for what happened last year. A drunk driver hit me and died. His family was suing me and my employer. They claimed that I was negligent and that I caused the accident. They said that I was driving too fast, and that I violated the Hours of Service regulations. I know that many of us think that this will not happen to me, but don't be fooled, you should always be prepared for such things.

I want to share with you an article that I found here, it may help shed some light on your rights.

Why not sue the beer company too, or whatever he's drunk that day?

He was doing his job, what are you talking about? he couldn't control that driver. The driver's parents must have a sense of guilt, but not a trucker.

A lot of people think that we're a bunch of uneducated men that are just sitting and turning wheels, but fuck them. We're professionals and should be in every fucked-up situation
