Trucker rights are important to know if you plan to pursue a career in the trucking industry. Truck driving training programs teach you the rules of the road but do not necessarily cover truck driver rights. If you already work as a truck driver, it is never too late to ensure your legal rights are protected.
Truck drivers have rights, whether they work as employees for trucking firms or are independent owner-operators. Prevent trucking firms and carriers from taking advantage of your lack of knowledge about laws for truck drivers by brushing up on your rights and responsibilities.
