Truck drivers are a hearty bunch. In their work, they are often subjected to the worse of weather conditions in addition to working under stress from tight delivery schedules. Most drivers also could write a book on the unsafe practises of
the public driving on highways today. It is no wonder that, sooner or later, many of these truck drivers will be involved in a collision or an accident of some type in doing their every day work.
Classy Trucks is showing some mishaps that have occurred in the trucking industry. Most of these accidents happened because truck drivers were asked to complete a job that required being done, often under circumstances that were not ideal. The drivers of these
vehicles used their skills to maintain a steady course to the best of their abilty.

"The impact of large truck crashes goes beyond the injuries and deaths that result from such crashes each year. Such crashes in the US cost over an estimated twenty-four billion dollars each year. Large truck crashes have an even more profound impact on the individuals involved
in these accidents. The estimated cost of police-reported crashes involving trucks with a gross weight rating of more than 10,000 pounds averaged $75,637."
