Wisconsin Truck Accident Laws

With the trucking industry being vital to Wisconsin and the U.S. economy, our roads are filled with large commercial trucks. State and federal governments regulate this industry to protect the public. Truckers must follow these regulations while using public roads. Understanding these rules is important if you’ve been in a Hudson truck accident. Wisconsin issues commercial driver’s licenses, sets speed limits, and establishes rules for in-state truck operations. Every trucker driving in Wisconsin must comply.
