What’s the Difference Between a Truck Accident and a Car Accident?
A typical compact car can weigh around 3,000 pounds. Some large SUVs exceed 6,000. A loaded commercial combination vehicle can reach California's 80,000-pound gross-weight limit, while legal truck height can reach 14 feet and combination-vehicle length can reach 75 feet on certain routes.
