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. 516 $a Text file in PDF format. 538 $a System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, Adobe Acrobat, or other PDF reader. 538 $a Mode of access: World Wide Web 513 $a Final Report 650 0 $a Truck accidents $x Research. 650 07 $a Highway safety $2 trt 650 07 $a Motor carriers $2 trt 650 07 $a Safety factors $2 trt 650 07 $a Truck crashes $2 trt 650 07 $a Truck drivers $2 trt 650 07 $a Trucking $2 trt 650 07 $a Trucking safety $2 trt 653 00 $a Firm size 653 00 $a large commercial trucks 653 00 $a safety performance 700 1 $a Osborn, Ethan $e Researcher $u Iowa State University 700 1 $a Singh, Prabhjot $e Researcher $u Iowa State University 710 2 $a Iowa State University. $b Institute for Transportation, $e performing body. 710 2 $a Midwest Transportation Center, $e sponsoring body. 710 1 $a United States. $b Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, $b Office of the Assistant Secretary for Research and Technology, $e sponsoring body. 856 40 $a Digital Repository @ Iowa State University $3 Online access. $z Full report $u http://lib.dr.iastate.edu/intrans_reports/79/ 856 41 $u http://www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/171948.aspx $z Full report available at TRB website. 941 $a 1 952 $l IAOX771 $d 20240710103023.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F2A4AA02B7CA11EC864CB83724ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIGInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
