Company Overview

For the past 50 years the backbone of Roberts Perryman has been trucking. We offer counsel to over 250 trucking and transportation clients. We are a full-service trucking and transportation law firm. As trucking and transportation lawyers we handle truck accidents and trucking litigation throughout the United States. We also counsel our trucking clients on any business matter that is unique to the trucking industry. We believe that a trucking company needs a trucking lawyer.

We have been fortunate enough to be asked to speak at many of these organizations on such diverse topics as misclassification, EEOC claims, whistleblower liability, FMCSA regulations, cargo claims and catastrophic losses.
