Driving big vehicles like Trucks is not easy. The truck drivers are driving for long periods on roads and can be prone to errors due to fatigue and lethargy. DHL trucks have to move from one location to another and also deliver packages door to door even in residential areas. Driving trucks in the small lanes or roads of residential area can be dangerous. Some of the most common causes of DHL truck accidents are:

• Distracted driving like texting or checking GPS while driving. Watching videos or talking on the phone. Eating and drinking while on the drive. Any instance where the driver may have to take his eyes off the road, can be risky and end up into disastrous accidents.
• Truck drivers are paid their wages depending on the number of miles they drive and number of deliveries they make. This forces them to deliver more cargo and as quickly as possible. Many times the drivers do not get the required amount of sleep and rest, resulting in them being fatigued. Tired and sleepy drivers can end up crashing and causing tragic accidents
• Trucking companies often avoid maintenance of the trucks to save money. Driving trucks with faulty equipment like brake systems or defective tires can cause catastrophic accidents.
• If a trucking company does not train their drivers well, these untrained and inexperienced drivers can be a danger on the roads.
