A study conducted by the American Trucking Association (ATA) determined that the trucking industry invests at least $9.5 billion annually in safety. These investments include technologies on the truck such as collision avoidance systems, electronic logging devices for driver hours of service compliance and video event recorders. According to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA), from 1980 through 2014, the number of large truck-involved fatal crashes declined 32% while the large truck-involved fatal crash rate per 100 million miles dropped by 74%. |
