    The Third Edition of this essential resource helps judges, lawyers, risk managers, and other interested parties understand the myriad legal issues that are specific to interstate trucking. It is the only comprehensive legal text in print that is devoted to this topic and the only source you need when litigating a case involving trucks, trailers, trucking companies, drivers, or truck manufacturers, repairers, or other third parties. The new edition, published in October 2003, contains abundant analysis of the most recent case law as well as discussion of recent regulatory developments.

    Any attorney who represents trucking companies or truck drivers will of course find this publication to be an invaluable research aid, and yet it provides an even greater benefit for the attorney who does not deal with trucking-related issues on a regular basis, but who finds himself or herself faced with the extremely complicated legal issues surrounding an accident involving commercial trucks or trucking companies. For all attorneys who face the prospect of truck-related litigation, this reasonably-priced publication provides the assistance needed to represent a client with confidence.
