Tractor-trailers are the heaviest vehicles to regularly travel streets and highways. Our society depends on transport and delivery of a wide variety of goods on a continual basis. A tractor-trailer pulling a full load is essentially equivalent to a train or mini-warehouse on 18 wheels, taking merchandise or raw materials from one location — such as a loading dock — to another — such as to a retailer or supermarket.
These huge vessels and the motors that move them from one place to another, crisscrossing the country and entering into cities and towns, travel alongside passenger cars, smaller trucks, motorcycles and even bicycles and pedestrians, creating opportunities for unfortunate encounters. When a tractor-trailer is involved in a crash with a smaller vehicle, the result is invariably disastrous for the occupants of the other vehicle.
Tractor-trailers are mounted on wheels much higher than typical cars and motorcycles. A collision between a tractor-trailer and a car often ends up with the car crushed underneath the carriage of the tractor-trailer. Devastating, catastrophic injuries turn lives and families upside down in the process. Drivers of tractor-trailers are rarely injured in such collisions, although that is not always the case — for example, in rollover accidents.
