Logging Truck Accidents
The Truth About Logging Truck Accidents
Every year, logging truck accidents take lives and cause catastrophic injuries. The highways of Georgia and neighboring states are used to transport the product of the area's healthy timber industry.
Unfortunately, an exhausted logger, tired from a day with a chainsaw, is likely to be at the wheel of the logging truck that leaves the state or national forest and heads to the lumber mill or pulp mill. Combine driver fatigue with narrow roads, negligent brake maintenance and overloaded trucks, and you have a recipe for a disastrous accident.
