Las Vegas Hours of Service Violation Lawyers

Truck drivers are required to drive for the better part of a day, and often must do so for days on end in order to meet their deadlines and quotas. Driving a truck for an extended period of time can easily result in exhaustion and fatigue, two physical states that should never be combined with driving a piece of moving metal that weighs over five tons. Hours of service regulations exist to limit the number of consecutive hours and days a truck driver may drive, so as to cut down on the amount of fatigue and exhaustion that occurs and limit the number of truck accidents that result.

Violating Hours of Service Regulations

Even though these rules were enacted with good reason, some unscrupulous truck drivers will forge the number of hours that they have driven in order to make up for lost time. Additionally, some truck companies may even encourage their drivers to break these rules, either by threatening them if they do not or offering incentives if they do. Of course, if an employee is caught, the employer then denies all wrongdoing. These violations are dangerous and pose a hazard to everyone on the road. Truck drivers know this, and some take legal and illegal stimulants in order to stay awake while violating these regulations.
