Welcome
We provide information about truck safety and warn people about the dangers associated with large trucks when they are not maintained, do not follow the rules, or when their drivers are pushed by unsafe deadlines. When drivers know about safety measures and insist that such laws are enforced, the roads are safer for everyone. Unsafe Trucks also provides information about how the public, including truckers themselves, can influence laws that are created for the trucking industry.
If you have had an experience with an unsafe truck, please tell us your story.
About Us
Unsafe Trucks Oregon’s mission is to make roads safer through awareness, education, advocacy, and enforcement of safe trucking practices.
Since trucks are regulated by both state and federal laws, Unsafe Trucks Oregon not only provides information specific to Oregon, but also links to the national Unsafe Trucks site, which contains general safety tips and federal law information.

Rachel was a healthy, active eight year old little girl. She had a long life ahead of her that was unfairly taken away.
I lost my freedom and my independence in a split second. Now I have to rely on many other people to do for me what I used to be able to do myself.
