Since 2005, the American Transportation Research Institute has been conducting periodic research to analyze a truck driver’s future crash likelihood based on prior traffic violations and convictions and crash involvement.

ATRI released the 2022 version of its Predicting Truck Crash Involvement research in October – the fourth iteration of the study. It pulls driver data from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) and the Commercial Driver’s License Information System (CDLIS) to determine crash likelihood.

Joining Jason and Matt this week on CCJ's 10-44 is Dan Murray, ATRI senior vice president, who talks about the results of the research and how fleets can use it to their advantage.
