Abstract:

In local/short-haul (L/SH) operations, commercial motor vehicle drivers primarily make trips of 100 miles or less from their home bases. L/SH activity includes local “pickup and delivery (P&D)” as well as other kinds of operations. Though researchers have examined the effects of driver fatigue and other safety issues in long-haul operations, they know little about how those issues affect L/SH operations—the largest segment of the trucking industry. Local service trucks account for 58% of large truck registrations, 28% of miles traveled, and 38% of fatal crash involvements.

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) conducted a two-phased research project on the safety issues in L/SH operations and the extent to which fatigue is an issue in the industry. Researchers convened focus group sessions in Phase I, then conducted a field study in Phase II to determine objectively if fatigue is a safety issue in L/SH trucking.
