Truck drivers : licensing and monitoring : an analysis with recommendations. Appendix Volume A: Summary of literature review.

Licensing requirements for drivers of heavy trucks and the feasibility of federal licensing of these drivers are discussed. Data analyses indicate that heavy trucks pose a problem, but many of the key questions cannot be adequately answered on the basis of available data. It is recommended that existing state programs in licensing, records and enforcement be used in establishing an effective licensing program. Volume A contains a summary of a literature review on this subject.
