Commercial Motor Vehicle Crash Investigation

Commercial Motor Vehicle Crash Investigation 
by David Brill

Finally, an all-inclusive manual for investigators of commercial vehicle crashes!

Commercial Motor Vehicle Crash Investigation gives you practical methods that can be used when approaching these complex investigations. You’ll learn techniques to properly and accurately calculate the vehicle’s speed, how to conduct a post-crash inspection, how to ensure that both the vehicle and the driver are in compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations, and much more.

This manual was not written as a book on commercial vehicle enforcement. Rather, it is a guide that will enable you to competently approach and investigate a traffic crash involving a commercial motor vehicle.

The book includes the following chapters:

• Inspection of Commercial Motor Vehicles
• Commercial Motor Vehicles and Common Carriers
• Hours of Service
• Parts and Accessories: Post-Crash Inspection
• Hazardous Materials
• Introduction to Dynamics

The author is David Brill, a twenty-one year veteran of law enforcement. In this book, he draws on his years of experience as a traffic homicide investigator with the Florida Highway Patrol.
