Heavy Trucking and Commercial Vehicles
Commercial/ Transport (e.g., Tractor-Trailers, Armored Vehicles, Box Trucks, Tanker Trucks, Vehicle Haulers, Flatbeds, Buses).
Construction / Industrial /Mining/Agricultural (e.g., Fire and Rescue Vehicles, Bucket Trucks, Cement Trucks, Combines, Module Trucks, Garbage Trucks, Equipment Haulers, Dump Trucks).
ESI’s Heavy Trucking and Commercial Vehicle Specialists are equipped to provide accident investigation and reconstruction for any heaving trucking incident in the U.S. or internationally.
ESI is prepared to provide rapid response to trucking accidents and is able to utilize world class experts to provide initial accident assessments as well as scene preservation, utilizing state of the art surveying and laser scanning systems. Our multidisciplinary approach brings together field accident investigators, biomechanics, perceptual psychologists, design analysts, and materials failure specialists to provide the best data and analysis possible. ESI also employs the physician who formerly served for 15 years as the first and only Medical Officer for the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB).
