Driving can be extremely dangerous. It’s even more so when sharing the road with large commercial trucks. These massive vehicles can be completely devastating in the event of a crash, and those traveling in smaller passenger cars are much more likely to suffer life-changing injuries. There are more than 500,000 crashes involving large trucks in the United States each year, resulting in thousands of deaths and many more injuries. These vehicles can weigh more than 70,000 pounds when fully loaded, and this mass is more than enough to cause a devastating crash when traveling at highway speeds.
