How Florida's Laws Impact Truck Accident Claims and Drivers

Trucking disputes are often difficult because they include state and federal laws that may contradict with one another. Every state has its own rules governing truck drivers' conduct, outlining how a huge vehicle should be maintained and driven. Specifically, Florida Statute 316.302 applies to all owners and drivers of business vehicles on public roads.

The following are the rules for who can legally work as a commercial truck driver:

A truck driver must be at least 18 years old to work commercially for intrastate transport. Interstate travel requires a minimum age of 21 years.

A trucking company may only hire commercial truck drivers who speak English. They must understand road signs, produce clear reports, and interact effectively with officials. Employees who drive commercial trucks must have a valid CDL and a history of safe driving. To operate a truck safely, they must have at least 20/40 vision in both eyes and a field of vision of at least 70 degrees from the horizontal meridian.

Here are the rules that govern the length of a truck driver's shift:

A truck driver can only drive 70 hours in the last seven days or 80 hours in the previous eight days. Following this work period, the truck driver is required to take at least 34 consecutive hours off before returning to work.

A driver can drive for 12 hours, but no more than 16 hours, after 10 hours of rest. All drivers must keep a log book in case of an investigation by the Department of Transportation.

Drivers who travel inside a 150-mile radius are not required to keep a log book. They are also exempt if they carry dangerous materials. If they serve more than 12 hours, they must log their driving time. In addition, Florida law limits the size of a commercial truck. The following are the size specifications for Florida commercial trucks:

A truck tractor-trailer cannot exceed 65 feet in length, and other trucks cannot exceed 75 feet.

A commercial truck cannot have an overhang of more than three feet.

An automotive carrier cannot exceed 14 feet in height.

A commercial truck's width is limited to 102 inches.

The maximum gross weight for a commercial vehicle is 80,000 pounds. A tandem-axle vehicle has a weight restriction of 34,000 pounds, while a single-axle vehicle can only carry 20,000 pounds.

Law experienced truck accident lawyers are intimately familiar with federal trucking laws, rules, and regulations, and we use this expertise to build the strongest personal injury complaint possible for you.

Where Do the Most Florida Truck Accidents Occur?

Truck accidents are common on highways with high traffic densities and speed limitations. Truck drivers may find it difficult to do intricate evasive maneuvers with such a massive vehicle moving swiftly.

Truck collisions are common on interstates because so many vehicles exit and enter at high speeds into the dense traffic flow. A inattentive truck driver may miss spotting a car entering the highway. They may not slow down to enable a car to merge or drift into another lane. Any level of inattention while driving a large rig in congested places, such as a highway, might result in a truck accident.

The following are some of the places in Florida where truck accidents are likely to happen:
Interstate 95

Interstate 10

Interstate 41

The Florida Turnpike
