International Journal Logistic Management: Six days on the road Will I make it home safely tonight? Examining attitudes toward commercial transportation regulation and safety

---

Abstract
Purpose – This research aims to examine the stressors that professional truck drivers experience and
the impact these stressors may have on road safety.
Design/methodology/approach – Both quantitative and qualitative data gathered from 435
professional drivers measured attitudes and behaviors related to safety and compliance. Interviews
with professional truck drivers provided an assessment of the stressors that they experience. The
insights offered from these individuals were then integrated into a conceptual model. The model
was tested via data collected through surveys administered to drivers using structural equation
modeling.
Findings – Results from the interviews, as well as the results from the survey administered to
professional drivers, suggest that truck drivers experience severe time pressures. Such time pressures
create stress which can lead to physical fatigue and emotional exhaustion. Further, both of these
debilitating conditions are related to negative attitudes about safety compliance and the current
CSA regulation. Additionally, negative attitudes about safety compliance standards are positively
related to violation of hours of service regulations.
Originality/value – Findings call into question the effectiveness of the new regulation with regard to
commercial transportation as well as possibly suggesting that drivers of automobiles might play a role
in helping to ameliorate vehicular crash rates.
