Abstract

Using data from the Motor Carrier Management Information System, the authors model crashes as a function of firm characteristics, with a focus on the employment relationship. They find that very small firms (one driver, one truck) and firms that contract with owner operators have fewer crashes than employee-only companies, once other firm characteristics and exposure are controlled. Additionally, though very small firms are more likely to have severe crashes, the authors find no relationship between the share of owner operators and crash severity.
