| Abstract | Deregulation of the motor carrier industry combined with a period of sustained economic growth has resulted in sizeable increases in the number of new motor carriers entering interstate operation. Discussions with key stakeholders in the motor carrier safety environment and previous academic studies have suggested that the safety performance and regulatory compliance of these "new entrants" may be significantly worse than the performance and compliance of more experienced carriers. This investigation examines the need for and the possible elements of a program to improve the safety performance and regulatory compliance of new entrants. It focuses specifically on regulatory compliance and crash rates as they relate to a motor carrier's time in interstate operations. The results show a substantial age-related pattern of compliance. There is clear evidence of a safety regulation compliance learning curve. 4 p. |
