Truck Drivers from each of the fifty (50) states, U.S. Territories, Canada, and Mexico converged last week in Minneapolis, Minnesota to compete in the National Truck Driving Championship.
To qualify and compete, drivers must showcase their knowledge and skills by placing first in their home-State or Regional competition. More importantly, competitors are required to be accident-free for at least twelve (12) months.
We, at Nurenberg Paris, want to commend and congratulate our Ohio competitors for qualifying and competing on the National stage:
To be the National Champ, drivers must pass written exams to demonstrate their knowledge of safety regulations. By performing a live demonstration of a pre-trip safety inspection, drivers look to ensure the truck they are driving has safe equipment. Specifically, drivers move around the truck to look for safety violations and identify defects that are deliberately planted by the judges.
Driving skills are tested to demonstrate a driver’s skill for safe maneuverability through numerous obstacle courses within a designated time period.
Altogether, this is a great opportunity for truck drivers and their employers to continue the dialogue regarding the importance of safe, skilled and accident-free truck driving.

Proving medical malpractice is notoriously difficult. That’s because every patient is different, and bad outcomes can happen even when doctors, surgeons, and other healthcare providers are thorough, attentive, and follow all protocols and guidelines when treating patients. In addition to being difficult to prove, doctors, surgeons, and other providers rarely admit to malpractice when it […]

When people are hospitalized, they and their loved ones expect for them to get better. Unfortunately, that doesn’t always happen, and sometimes, their health declines because they contract diseases that are primarily found in hospitals. One of the most dreaded hospital-related illnesses is an intestinal illness caused by a bacteria called Clostridioides difficile, or C. […]

One of the most common traffic violations committed by any driver is driving with a burned-out headlight, taillight, brake light, or turn signal. While these traffic violations can be dangerous for drivers of pickup trucks, sedans, and SUVs, they can be extremely hazardous for drivers of semi-trucks—and the people driving near them. Burned out semi-truck […]
