  1. CAUSES OF DELIVERY TRUCK ACCIDENTS

  2. Local roadways have been seeing a steady increase in delivery truck traffic over the years, mostly thanks to online shopping, grocery delivery, and other home delivery services. These services are great for busy families, people who work during regular retail hours, and for the handicapped and elderly who may have a difficult time getting to the store. Unfortunately for those involved in delivery truck accidents, injuries can be severe and sometimes fatal.

  3. 01 Driving a delivery truck can be stressful, especially when drivers are trying to meet delivery deadlines. Drivers are oftenunder pressure to fulfill their deliveries and when they fell short on time, they try to rush their deliveries and that is when serious driving mistakes and accidents often happen.

  4. 02 Delivery drivers are also very often distracted by their job of delivering goods. They use GPS to figure out where they are going while they are driving and they are constantly thinking of the next delivery while trying to plan ahead Here you could describe the topic of the section in order to be efficient. These are all things that keep drivers distracted and less focused on driving safely.

  5. 03 Improper truck loading leads to unsafe and unbalanced vehicles, especially when delivery trucks are involved in accidents and their cargo is not properly secured in the vehicle.

  6. 04 Poor driver training leads to unsafe delivery truck drivers and this is especially a problem in the current employment climate where there are not enough delivery truck drivers to meet demands and employers are pushing their new hires to get out on the road as soon as possible.

  7. 05 Leaving trucks parked in the middle of the road, in alleys, or in places where traffic is obstructed is commonplace when it comes to delivery drivers who are trying to get as close as possible to their delivery point. This style of stopping and parking often leads to obstructed views for other drivers and unexpected, sudden stops in the middle of the road, both of which can lead to accidents.
