OUR TEAM’S EXPERIENCE…
The team at Truck Accident & Incident Experts, LLC (TAIE) offers a wealth of experience in responding to and investigating CMV crashes, with over three decades of collective experience in FMCSA compliance and violations. This expertise is further enhanced by years of firsthand experience driving 18-wheeler tractor-trailers, including low-boys (flatbeds), dry-van trailers, and tankers. This hands-on knowledge of driving, loading, and offloading procedures provides a deep understanding of the many factors that can contribute to accidents and their aftermath.
The TAIE team’s professional experience is also supplemented by members who have served as specialized instructors for the New Jersey State Police for 11 years. These instructors focused on CMV crash and incident response for cargo-tank trucks and also served as a hazardous materials (HM) instructor for tractor-trailer crashes. As part of these duties, team members have trained a wide range of organizations, including the New York City Fire Department, New York City PD Emergency Services Unit, New York/New Jersey Port of Authority, Philadelphia Fire Department, CRHMRO (California), and the New Jersey State Police.
Over the course of their careers, members of the TAIE team have responded to and/or investigated over 1,000 tractor-trailer and CMV crashes, 200 cargo-tank truck incidents, and a variety of industrial incidents, including railroad, airline, and maritime disasters. These experiences have given them the expertise to manage, respond to, and investigate a wide range of incidents from highway crashes and loading dock accidents to FMCSA regulatory violations. During many of these events, members of the team were the lead response and/or investigative party.
