About UPS

The United Parcel Service (UPS) is the largest package delivery company in the world. In this country, UPS is easily recognizable with its brown delivery trucks and gold shield logo.

UPS is headquartered in Sandy Springs, Georgia. Unfortunately, many delivery trucks, UPS tractor-trailer trucks and other UPS vehicles are responsible for a number of fatal accidents every year in the United States.


Causes of UPS Truck Accidents

Delivery truck accidents are relatively common, unfortunately, due to the extreme pressure UPS employees are placed under to deliver packages as quickly as possible. Something as simple as putting in effort to get the job done quickly can result in negligent and careless actions that can cause serious accidents.

Some of the most common causes of UPS truck accidents include:

  • Poorly trained drivers.
  • Failure to yield when merging back into traffic.
  • Drivers making sudden stops or quick left turns.
  • Drivers backing up the delivery truck after passing the desired address.
  • Failure of the driver to set the truck’s parking brakes when stopping to make a delivery.

Because UPS trucks are much larger in size than the average passenger vehicle, collisions involving a UPS truck can be particularly damaging. Not only can an accident result in a total loss of your car, but injuries from the crash can be far more serious than a regular Savannah car accident.


FMCSA Regulations

UPS trucks and their drivers are subject to the federal regulations set forth by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). These laws, which establish mandatory requirements for the safe operation of commercial trucks, include:

  • Driver training requirements
  • Drug and alcohol prevention programs for drivers
  • Maintenance and repair requirements for trucks
  • Mandatory driver recording for hours-of-service
