Despite the transportation industry’s extraordinary efforts to promote safety, commercial motor vehicles are subject to accidents and incidents 24/7/365. The consequences vary widely, from the mundane to the catastrophic. Regardless, time is of the essence in responding to protect the interests of a motor carrier and its employees.
