Question

What hard copy of evidence is there to find fault with a truck driver?

Answer

Truck driver documentation is tightly regulated. The paperwork that truck drivers and their employer must maintain is very useful in determining if the driver of a truck was negligent. Materials most useful in determining the conduct of a truck operator include:

                Copy of driver’s license
                Truck inspection reports
                Tractor-trailer maintenance records
                Truck driver personnel and employment records
                Truck driver log six months prior to the accident
                Truck driver log the day of the accident
                Dispatch tickets and routing instructions
                Toll and delivery receipts
                Weight bills and scale receipts
                Repair bills
                Gas receipts
