Editorial Policy
People often read our guides at a stressful time, so accuracy and honesty come first. This page explains how our content is created, sourced and kept up to date.
Independence
TruckLawHub is an independent educational publisher. We are not a law firm, and no law firm, insurer or trucking company pays to influence what we write. We do not publish attorney rankings, invented reviews, case results or settlement amounts.
Sources we rely on
- Federal rules: the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (fmcsa.dot.gov) and the Code of Federal Regulations (ecfr.gov).
- Crash data and safety research: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (nhtsa.gov).
- State law: official state legislature and court websites, summarized in a state reference dataset (filing deadlines and fault rules) that we review at least once a year.
Where a guide relies on a specific rule, we link to the official source so readers can check it themselves.
How guides are written
Our guides are drafted with the help of AI writing tools. Every draft is generated from a structured brief that includes our state reference data, and is held to written rules that require it to:
- Use only the legal facts supplied in the brief and never contradict them
- Avoid invented statistics, local details, law firms, attorneys, verdicts or settlement figures
- Use careful wording where the law has exceptions, and point readers to a licensed attorney
- Answer the reader's question directly near the top of the page
- Cite official government sources for the rules it describes
Content that is too short or fails these checks is not published.
Updates and corrections
Laws and deadlines change. We review our state data at least annually and update guides when a rule changes. Each guide shows the date it was last updated. If you believe something is wrong or out of date, let us know and we will review it promptly.
Not legal advice
Our content is general legal information, not legal advice. It may not reflect the most recent developments or the details of your case. For advice about your situation, consult a licensed attorney in your state.
