Dump trucks also get paid by the load and are often owned by independent contractors or small trucking companies that do not properly maintain vehicles.
Delivery trucks are subject to the federal regulations established by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These federal laws outline mandatory requirements for safe operation of commercial trucks, including:
- driver training requirements,
- drug and alcohol prevention programs for drivers,
- maintenance and repair requirements for trucks, and
- mandatory driver recording for hours-of-service.
