Commercial truck drivers presume a large responsibility when operating an 18-wheeled vehicle. The sheer size and weight of a commercial truck poses a real threat to other vehicles sharing the road. If a truck driver is negligent, the potential dangers are great. For this reason they are held to a higher standard of care while operating a big commercial truck.

Negligence may come through aggressive driving, lack of proper rest while driving, alcohol and drugs, distracted driving, and other factors that would cause a truck driver to act negligently behind the wheel of a commercial truck.
