Abstract

Long driving hours have been shown to be a risk factor for tractor- trailer crashes. To estimate the prevalence of drivers at risk, truckers were interviewed. Assuming that the drivers averaged 40 mph over the complete course of the trip segment, including stopped time, 91 percent were in violation of the hours of service rules; 90 percent were in violation by more than one hour.
