Overweight/Overloaded Trucks

Trucks that exceed safe weight limits are a serious concern on Miami streets. Unfortunately, truck companies have a vested interest as well as a financial interest in placing heavier trucks on the road. Trucks that have more cargo on them can deliver more goods at a lower cost, saving truck companies money. State laws and federal laws, however, limit the amount of cargo that a truck can carry, and scales along roadways ensure that trucks comply with these rules. Unfortunately, there are still many instances where trucks overload cargo, which can cause the truck driver to lose control of the vehicle and cause a truck accident. Truck accidents in Miami are also often caused by trucks that have exceeded their weight and have placed extra pressure on brakes and tires. When tires and brakes fail due to an overloaded truck, traffic accidents are a common occurrence.
