Suing a Trucking Company
When a commercial truck crashes, the carrier — not just the driver — is often the real party responsible. Find guidance specific to major carriers below.
Swift Transportation
Swift operates a massive dry van and refrigerated fleet across the US, and its size means crashes involve substantial commercial insurance coverage and layered corporate liability policies.
Schneider National
Schneider runs one of the country's largest orange-liveried fleets across truckload, intermodal, and logistics divisions, with a substantial safety and compliance record on file with the FMCSA.
Werner Enterprises
Werner has faced significant jury verdicts in prior truck accident litigation, underscoring the importance of thorough discovery into its safety and driver management practices.
J.B. Hunt Transport
J.B. Hunt operates dry van, intermodal, and dedicated fleets nationwide, with extensive telematics data that can be central to proving fault after a crash.
Knight Transportation
Knight operates as part of the Knight-Swift group, one of the largest trucking holding companies in the US, with fleet-wide safety programs subject to discovery in litigation.
Prime Inc.
Prime operates a large owner-operator and company-driver fleet across refrigerated, flatbed, and tanker divisions.
CRST International
CRST has a large new-driver training pipeline, making driver qualification and training records especially relevant in crash litigation.
XPO Logistics
XPO's LTL network involves frequent local pickup and delivery runs alongside long-haul routes, each with distinct crash risk profiles.
Old Dominion Freight Line
Old Dominion operates an extensive LTL network with frequent city and dock-area maneuvers that raise backing and blind-spot crash risks.
FedEx Freight
FedEx Freight operates alongside FedEx Ground and Express under the broader FedEx corporate structure, with distinct safety and maintenance programs per division.
UPS Freight / UPS
UPS operates package cars, delivery vans, and long-haul tractor-trailers under a unified corporate safety program subject to discovery after a crash.
Amazon Logistics (DSP Network)
Amazon uses independently owned Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) to operate branded delivery vans under Amazon's routing algorithms and delivery quotas — a structure that raises unique questions about who is legally responsible after a crash.
USPS Highway Contract Carriers
USPS mail transport is frequently handled by independent Highway Contract Route (HCR) operators rather than USPS employees, affecting how liability and immunity issues are analyzed.
