| Abstract | There is a common belief in the trucking industry that, while most truck and bus drivers are both conscientious and safe, a relatively small percentage of commercial motor vehicle (CMV) drivers are associated with a significant and inordinate percentage of the overall number of motor carrier crashes. These drivers are considered to be "high risk" drivers, and the study summarized in this Tech Brief focuses on these commercial drivers. This project explores factors associated with "high risk drivers" and the means by which carriers can reduce crash risk through various safety management practices and other safety interventions. |
