Abstract:The objective of this study was to identify the motor carrier industry's safety performance leaders based on a series of objective safety measures and indicators. Upon identification of these safety leaders, a second objective was to systematically define their safety management programs and policies. The ultimate goal of the effort is to communicate the safety management policies and programs of the industry's safety performance leaders to companies with safety performance problems or to companies seeking to enhance already strong programs and policies, thereby providing guidance and direction for improvements as they emulate some of the best practices of the industry's safety leaders. The first section of the report provides an introduction and discusses the study objectives. The next section provides a detailed discussion of the methodology used to identify the industry safety leaders as well as the survey instrument used to identify the safety management programs and policies of the performance leaders. Subsequent sections provide a discussion of the study's major results and findings regarding the programs and policies that have been implemented by the safety leaders.
