Abstract

This article reports results of an investigation of safety technology adoption practices among the largest firms in the U.S. motor carrier industry. A national survey was conducted to determine firms' adoption patterns of available and leading‐edge safety technologies. It was found that, in general, motor carrier firms are at the early stages of safety technology adoption. Further, it was discovered that the larger firms, with a broad geographic scope of operations, are the leaders in safety technology adoption. It is the authors' hope that the article will stimulate increased interest in the pursuit of research on this important topic.
