Yes. Specific laws and regulations are in place to protect passenger vehicle drivers and occupants from the actions of negligent truck drivers and trucking companies. State and Federal rules specify, for example, how many hours and days truck drivers can stay on the road before taking a break, the proper loading of cargo and weight the driver is carrying, and speeds for safely traveling and passing other vehicles on the highway.
