Traffic accidents can be quite dangerous, especially when involving FedEx trucks. Large and heavy vehicles driven unsafely have the potential to cause substantial damage when they collide with smaller vehicles. The risk is further heightened by factors such as driver fatigue, distractions, or even reckless driving.

The substantial structure of these trucks gives rise to blind spots.  Pedestrians, cyclists, and even other vehicles have a propensity to vanish from the driver’s field of vision, consequently elevating the likelihood of accidents.

Additionally, cargo spills can occur when the cargo within a truck is not properly secured. Cargo spills pose a significant danger for other drivers as it creates obstacles and hazards. The consequences of these spills can range from sudden swerves to severe collisions, and in some cases, even rollovers.
