The maximum gross weight for a commercial vehicle is 80 tons or 160,000 lbs. These vehicles are more than ten times heavier than the largest private vehicles, which makes them much more dangerous. Here are some of the most important truck accident stats to come out in 2022 (for the year 2021):
There were 121,345 total motor vehicle crashes in Arizona.
Of these, 14,225 (15.45%) involved commercial trucks and buses.
