Box trucks, sprinter vans, and medium-duty commercial vehicles are everywhere on Texas roads, and they cause serious accidents every day.
The Overlooked Danger of Box Trucks & Commercial Vans
Box trucks, cargo vans, and sprinter vans may be smaller than 18-wheelers, but they still weigh 10,000 to 26,000 pounds, enough to cause catastrophic injuries in a collision. Many are operated by drivers with standard licenses and minimal training, employed by moving companies, rental fleets, and small businesses that cut corners on safety and maintenance.
Why Box Truck Accidents Happen
- Drivers with minimal commercial vehicle training
- Rental truck operators unfamiliar with vehicle size and handling
- Overloaded cargo shifting during turns and braking
- Limited rear visibility, no rearview mirror in most box trucks
- Speeding to meet tight delivery or moving schedules
- Fatigued drivers working long hours without required breaks
- Poor vehicle maintenance by small operators and rental companies
