According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, Texas is home to more than 180,000 truck drivers, which means our state has a higher rate of employment in the trucking industry than anywhere else in the country. Unfortunately, with more 18-wheelers on the road comes a higher risk of being involved in a semi-truck accident.
Texas has unique laws that apply to commercial drivers. For example, CMV drivers can receive a DWI if their blood-alcohol contact is 0.04 percent or higher, while the legal limit for regular drivers is 0.08 percent. They must also complete specialized training to receive a commercial driver’s license.
