Truck Signs Don't Protect Them | Raleigh News

That “Stay back 200 feet” sign? It’s basically a legal scam. A North Carolina man’s windshield cracked by a flying rock from a dump truck thought he was screwed — but lawyers say those signs don’t absolve trucking companies. The law requires trucks hauling gravel or stone to secure their loads, and if something escapes and damages property, the company can be held liable. The catch? You need proof — the truck’s license plate, the company, and ideally, dash cam footage. If the rock was already on the road and the truck just kicked it up? That’s a different story. Bottom line: those signs don’t shield truckers from responsibility — you just need the right evidence to hold them accountable.
