What Guidelines Impact Trucking?

Commercial trucks are vehicles used in the transportation of goods for businesses. Despite their importance in the nation's economy, commercial trucks are massive and can pose a serious threat to the drivers of conventional automobiles.

While a normal passenger vehicle typically weighs about 3,000 pounds, a truck can weigh upwards of 80,000 pounds. These vehicles are large and often precariously loaded.

Due to their large size and potential for causing life-threatening injuries in the event of an accident, federal guidelines have been put in place to reinforce safer trucking practices.

What Is The National Safety Code?

The Canadian government has taken steps to protect drivers by establishing The National Safety Code, a guideline of rules and regulations that trucking companies and their drivers must follow.

Every trucking standard is designed to prevent accidents and injuries from:

• Restricting the number of hours that a driver may operate his or her vehicle before taking a rest break
• To establishing mandatory cargo loading and trucking maintenance protocol
