Trucking & Transportation

Overview

Trucking is the predominant player in land-based shipping, alongside rail transport. It’s also central to other sectors like manufacturing, distribution and warehousing, serving the needs of major and remote markets alike. But because of the safety risks built in with large vehicles on heavily trafficked roads, the trucking industry is under constant scrutiny. Businesses in this space face extensive regulation and policy push from industry detractors, especially in the wake of any unfortunate accident involving a commercial truck.

Trucking companies and related stakeholders need practical and solutions-driven counsel to navigate outside concerns, ensure regulatory compliance and develop a response plan in times of crisis. Turner Padget’s Trucking & Transportation Industry Team cultivates relationships with clients across commercial transport, serving businesses including intrastate and interstate carriers, global delivery corporations, waste management companies and railroads.

Our attorneys engage with clients on everything from major claims matters such as catastrophic injury claims, to labor laws and workers’ compensation. The cornerstone of our practice is our close link with industry groups, such as the Trucking Industry Defense Association (TIDA) and the South Carolina Trucking Association (SCTA).

We understand that the issues impacting trucking can strike at any time. Our Emergency Response Team allows clients to contact an attorney after normal business hours to respond to the scene of an accident. With offices located throughout the Southeast, we respond when time is of the essence. Clients know our attorneys show up prepared and do things the right way, even when the clock is counting down.
