There are numerous flatbed semi tractors out on our highways. Flatbed trucks are entirely flat with no sides or roof, so securing the load properly is imperative. The reason flatbeds are used is for the
quick and easy loading of non-perishable goods that the weather cannot damage. Flatbed
accidents can occur thru strict negligence or when the load is improperly secured on top of the truck bed. If improperly loaded materials breaks free and can create havoc to unsuspecting motorist following behind the flatbed truck.
The law requires professional truck drivers to check their load frequently
and at specified intervals. Federal Motor Carrier Administration. Improperly trained drivers, either by training or company policy may simply neglect to inspect their loads. The log books must reflect that the driver has checked his load at the required
intervals. If you have been injured in a flatbed truck accident or any other trucking accident, contact Gerald R Stahl. Michigan Truck Accident Attorney.
