Fighting for Victims of Truck Accidents in North Carolina
In the trucking industry, it is common knowledge that if you are not on the road, you are not getting paid. The compensation structure for truckers motivates them to work long hours and push themselves to the limit. Some may even neglect to record their hours in their log books or provide false information. These log-keeping errors are in direct violation of the law. Drivers who fail to keep accurate logs tend to succumb to fatigue and are more likely to cause accidents and injury to other drivers.
