In the United States, the reliance on large trucks for the transportation of goods across local and national distances is something we have all been accustomed to for decades. Despite the existence of federal laws and regulations designed to enhance roadway safety involving these massive vehicles, statistics from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) indicate that large trucks are still implicated in over 100,000 injury accidents annually nationwide. Making matters worse for Winter Haven residents is the fact that the State of Florida consistently ranks among the top three states in terms of fatalities resulting from trucking accidents.
