Book Description
The goal of this paper is to examine and appraise the major sources of information upon which policymakers, researchers and carriers can make decisions regarding the economic, financial, and operating environments of the transborder trucking industry. An improved information environment will lead to better decisions and facilitate the economic coordination and integration sought in the market through free trade. The authors focus on two major information areas: traffic flow and financial/operating statistics. In their conclusion, the authors find that a few of the existing U.S. and Canadian statistical data sources can be used for transborder trucking analyses, even though they were not designed for that purpose. Few of the databases contain any information on the performance of transborder trucking as perceived by the users of transportation. They feel that in the future, there must be greater international cooperation in the design of statistical data collection systems between the U.S. and Canada. Presently, one cannot track the behaviour of particular carriers across the border. In the U.S., company reports are not available through Canadian agencies. On the Canadian side of the border, detailed and data-rich carrier-based surveys are carried out but there is no comparable activity on the U.S.side.

Book Description
There are approximately 4,000 fatalities in crashes involving trucks and buses in the United States each year. Though estimates are wide-ranging, possibly 10 to 20 percent of these crashes might have involved fatigued drivers. The stresses associated with their particular jobs (irregular schedules, etc.) and the lifestyle that many truck and bus drivers lead, puts them at substantial risk for insufficient sleep and for developing short- and long-term health problems. Commercial Motor Vehicle Driver Fatigue, Long-Term Health and Highway Safety assesses the state of knowledge about the relationship of such factors as hours of driving, hours on duty, and periods of rest to the fatigue experienced by truck and bus drivers while driving and the implications for the safe operation of their vehicles. This report evaluates the relationship of these factors to drivers' health over the longer term, and identifies improvements in data and research methods that can lead to better understanding in both areas.
