- Driver fatigue
- Inadequate training for drivers
- Unrealistic schedules, encouraging reckless driving
- Poor and insufficient vehicle maintenance
- Dangerous roadways

After a truck accident, investigators will use this information to determine who was at fault in the accident and how the accident occurred.
