i drive a smaller truck mainly on the interstates around Tuscaloosa and Birmingham, invariably when i see a tractor trailer accident you can look right in front of it to see the SUV and the soccer mom that braked too hard and unexpectantly for the truck to stop causing a flip. Most trucking accidents are caused by automobile drivers. That being said drive down any interstate there are way too many 18 wheelers on the road they are killing machines and the roads are clogged with them. Companies should be financially encouraged to use trains.

Sorry, but if the trucker plowed into the SUV, they were following too closely and the trucker is at fault.
