Abstract:

The purpose of this study was the development of a driver-focused truck crash prediction model with a particular focus on the size of

the carrier that the driver is associated with at the time of a state reportable crash. While previous studies have shown that the

characteristics of the driver affect driver involvement in reportable crashes, scant attention has been paid to how the size of the carrier

affects crash rates. Generally speaking, smaller carriers do not have the resources to invest in monitoring and implementing sound safety

practices to ensure safe operations in the U.S. motor carrier industry. This represents a significant problem because the majority of

carriers in the industry are small carriers. This study seeks to enhance the understanding of how the characteristics of carriers contribute

to driver involvement in state reportable crashes.
