Unlike many truckers, commercial vehicle drivers are typically not compensated by the mile or the load. Rather most are hourly wage earners (please see our discussion on Causes of Truck Accidents and our discussion of Trucking Accident Liability). Therefore, driver fatigue, while a cause of some commercial vehicle accidents, is not as common an occurrence.

Typically, many of the same causes of car accidents are also the causes of commercial vehicle accidents, including the following:

• Drunk driving
• Reckless driving (including not compensating for dangerous driving conditions or the weather)
• Speeding
• Failing to yield
• Failing to stop
• Tailgating (commercial vehicles, like other trucks, require greater distances to stop)
• Blind spots
• Defective parts (including tires, lights, and brakes)
