Abstract:

The theory of the firm suggests that firms should maximize profit by investing in safety until

marginal cost is equal to the marginal benefit. This paper addresses motor carrier safety from the

perspective of the firm, developing the theoretical framework for firm safety decisions. Additionally, this

paper tests the relationship between firm safety performance and safety practices, new safety

technologies, and firm marketing strategies. By testing the impact of the safety performance marketing

strategy on carrier accident rates, it can be shown that firm managers have control over the safety

performance of their firm through management decisions.
