Measuring the Impacts of COVID-19 on the Trucking industry: A Spatial and Econometric Framework to Capture the Impacts of the Hours-of-Service (HOS) Emergency Declaration and Congestion Effects on Truck Driver Safety

| 摘要： | The trucking industry is facing extreme challenges. Supply chain disruptions and national emergency delivery needs are causing truck drivers to work longer hours, while trucking in other areas such as the restaurant supply and equipment for live events, have ceased or are operating at 25% capacity. A recent article from Roberts (2020) and a recent covid-19 national truck driver survey performed by the PI1, indicate that truck drivers are struggling to protect their health while out on the road. These same studies have also found that truckers are struggling to find safe and adequate truck parking (Ford, 2020). The goal of this research is to develop a heterogeneity-based econometric framework to capture the impacts of the hours-of-service (HOS) emergency declaration instituted by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMSCA) and reduced congestions effects. This will be centered on telematics technology from EROAD and a recently completed COVID-19 National Truck Driver Survey conducted by the PI. EROAD is a company that develops and implements technology to modernize traditional paper-based systems within the trucking industry. As part of this modernization, EROAD collects the data used for generating reliable truck driver safety performance measures. To accomplish this, the Pacific Northwest will be used as a case study which will allow for the evaluation of truck driver safety and cross referencing it with existing state motor carrier crash databases. |
