Big trucks are the heaviest kind of trucks that are allowed on our roads. They are mostly used for long distance trips. As you probably know a truck is a large vehicle used for sending goods from one place to another.

Most people don't know that we have the word truck in our vocabulary because of the word Trochos which means "wheel" in Greek.

Because trucks are so large and heavy it means that roads get damaged and worn down quickly. In most countries with good roads a truck is allowed to carry 50 thousand kg.

Not surprisingly trucks also send out a lot of pollution into our atmosphere. A heavy duty vehicle is pretty much anything heavier than 8.5 thousand pounds.

According to government papers a truck is allowed to send out no more than that of twelve cars. But unfortunately some trucks are emitting a lot more than that.

Unsurprisingly well built up areas and cities suffer from big trucks the most. Because of their size and weight big trucks are dangerous to people in their much smaller cars when there is an accident.

A worrying statistic shows that when it comes to accidents between a car and a big truck over 90%+ the people in the car die. This is why a lot of people are scared to share the roads with trucks.

Because of their size trucks cause air turbulence that can either suck a car in under it's wheels or push the car away. Either of these could could cause a very serious accident.

But what should help to put peoples minds at rest is that because these beasts are so huge the drivers are often trained very well and tests show that because of their training commercial truck drivers are actually the safest around.

And statistics also show that accidents involving trucks have gone down over 20% compared to 10 years ago.
