| Abstract | This report documents the findings of a special study undertaken to update, confirm and expand upon previous studies on the comparative (to experienced carriers) safety performance and compliance of large commercial motor vehicle operators (motor carriers) newly entering into U.S. interstate operations. Once these operator/carriers engage in interstate operations with large commercial motor vehicles, they are required to register with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and they become subject to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs). In particular, this study was accomplished to help provide a basis for formulating the details of a new entrant education and safety assurance process including the possible need for special emphasis among the component groups of new entrants. Component groups include U.S., Canadian, and Mexican domiciled motor carriers newly registering with the USDOT for interstate operations in the U.S. The study was performed at the Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (the Volpe Center) under a Project Plan Agreement with the Department of Transportation’s Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA). The Volpe Center technical project manager was Donald Wright of the Economic Analysis Division in the Office of System and Economic Assessment. The study was undertaken and this report was written by Donald Wright with assistance from Jon Ohman of the Economic Analysis Division and Leon Parkin of EG&G Services. At the FMCSA, the project was managed by Dale Sienicki of the FMCSA’s Office of Data Analysis and Information Systems, Data Analysis Division. |
