What Causes A Delivery Van Accident?

The cause of a delivery van accident may vary. However, because these vehicles are so widespread on the road, they cause accidents often. Below are some common reasons that delivery van accidents may happen:

• Tired Drivers – Delivery van drivers often work long hours and are under the gun to get the delivery done. Although there are laws in place to regulate the number of hours a driver can work, sometimes companies break the law and have their drivers work more hours than the law allows. When drivers are tired, they are more likely to become distracted and make fatal errors.
• Mechanical Problems – Lack of maintenance results in equipment failure on delivery trucks. Faulty equipment can result in a dangerous accident and is preventable.
• Hiring Bad Drivers – Not all drivers that are hired belong on the road. Truck companies have sufficient resources to hire safe drivers, but often don’t because of a shortage of qualified and competent drivers, putting profits over safety.
• Lack of Training – If delivery truck drivers are not trained properly, it can result in an accident. A driver may not know how to operate a delivery truck in certain road conditions or on steep hills.
• Distracted Drivers – Delivery truck drivers work long hours. Unfortunately, it is easy for these drivers to become distracted by cell phone use or other distractions. Distracted drivers may not be paying attention to the road, which can make them unaware of other cars, stops and variables in conditions.
