The threads are worn and the vibration of the engine causes the oil cap to loosen. Replace the oil cap or try a little Teflon tape on the male thread as a temporary fix.

What are common causes of tractor trailer accidents?

The common causes of tractor trailer accidents are drowsiness, speeding, and road rage (reckless driving). These are the common causes of all car accidents. However, when driving a tractor trailer, you should also consider the weight of the load you are carrying and how it is balanced on the trailer. Excess weight can cause tires to blow out, and can make stopping and starting difficult. If the load is improperly balanced, the trailer can tip over as well.
