Abstract

This paper addresses the licensing requirements for drivers of heavy trucks (HTs) and recommends a system for monitoring the HT drivers. The literature review, data analyses and determination of current practices indicate that heavy trucks pose a safety problem. Therefore, recommendations for HT licensure are made in regard to verification of driver identity; medical requirements; vision, knowledge and skills testing; and an interstate identification file that is checked whenever license is first issued in any state.
