Abstract
A safe payment system would reinforce and lock in the benefits of previous chain of responsibility reforms by taking another important step in removing economic incentives for unsafe behaviour. The report proposes a solution which seeks to further address those root causes of unsafe on-road behaviours through a framework to implement a system of safe payments — a payment system which allows the trucking industry to compete fairly on service and efficiency without being compelled to cut corners on the levels and methods of driver payments.
