Oilfield Trucks

Oilfield trucks don’t stop fast.

Especially not on narrow FM roads.

When they crash, someone pays. But who?

We’re seeing more wrecks on rural West Texas roads. High traffic. Heavy rigs. Sleep-deprived drivers. And when something goes wrong, fingers point everywhere—except at the company that pushed too hard.

So let’s break it down.

Someone is hurt.

Someone else is at fault.

It's rarely “just an accident.”

Driver fatigue is a real issue.

Fault doesn’t end with the driver.

Was the truck overloaded or unsafe?

Was the company pushing illegal hours?

Did dispatch pressure the driver to rush?

Who owned the truck, and who hired them?

Some contracts shift risk—others don’t.

The company that profits can also be liable.

Evidence on cell phones and logs disappears fast.

The faster you act, the better the outcome gets.

These cases are complex.

But they are winnable.

If you’ve been hit, you need to act.
