The study will identify, and request data from, nine large motor carriers (five trucking and four motorcoach carriers) to better understand commuting patterns of CMV drivers. The carriers will be asked to provide information on their drivers� home locations and work terminal locations, as appropriate, to estimate commuter distances traveled, time zones crossed, estimated time spent commuting, methods of transportation used, and the impacts of excessive commuting times on CMV crashes.
The study agent has conducted a literature review to determine what research exists on the impacts of excessive commuting on truck safety and CMV driver fatigue (and in similar safety-critical occupations). The study will survey CMV drivers to better understand their commuting practices and any related motor carrier policies. Additionally, the study report will highlight FMCSA regulations, policies, and guidance regarding driver commuting. |
