Large trucks, which are known by many names—tractor trailers, 18-wheelers, semis and big rigs —can cause especially serious injuries in accidents because of the greater weight they carry, up to 80,000 pounds. In fact, one out of nine traffic fatalities in the U.S. in 2008 resulted from a trucking accident.

New York motorists on the roads with tractor trailers should be especially cautious on Wednesdays. A total of 2,411 large truck accidents occurred on Wednesdays in New York in 2008, including 20 fatalities. It was the most deadly day for large truck accidents.

Tuesdays and Fridays are almost as dangerous. New York motor vehicle statistics show that 2,348 large truck accidents occurred on both Tuesday and Fridays, with 16 fatalities on Tuesdays and 15 on Fridays. By comparison, Sundays had fewer than 500 large truck accidents and Saturdays about 900. More large trucks are traveling the highways during weekdays.
