摘要：	This synthesis focuses on the high-risk commercial driver. Most truck and bus drivers are both conscientious and safe, but the findings of this research project support the notion, and widespread industry belief, that a relatively small percentage of commercial drivers are associated with a significant and inordinate percentage of the overall motor carrier crash risk. This research project has attempted to document this phenomenon, explore related factors, and identify ways that the high-risk driver can be targeted by various safety management practices and other safety interventions. Expert industry opinion has been accessed through survey questionnaires on the topic. The research literature on the topic has been reviewed, with emphasis on the personal factors associated with risk and carrier management approaches to reducing the problem. This synthesis focuses on commercial (i.e., large truck and bus) drivers, but also presents the results from a literature review on transportation operators in other modes such as air, rail, and maritime. Commercial motor vehicle (CMV) fleet safety managers are the principal audience for this synthesis, although this synthesis is a presentation of findings, not a how to guide to practice. In addition, the synthesis should be useful to government, industry, and academic personnel involved in formulating and conducting studies to gain knowledge (i.e., research) and to create tools (development) relating to this safety topic.
