A typical fully-loaded commercial truck can weigh 40 tons or more, while an average passenger automobile typically weighs an average 3,000 pounds. Thus, an accident involving a truck such as an 18-wheeler or other large freight carrier can have even more catastrophic consequences. It is estimated that 5,000 people die annually in the U.S. due to accidents involving commercial trucks.
