The editors of Heavy Duty Trucking have extended the deadline for fleets to participate in a new annual survey, which will offer insight into safety and compliance practices and trends among truck fleets.

In light of industry issues such as skyrocketing insurance costs, nuclear verdicts, and the driver shortage, Heavy Duty Trucking has launched an annual survey to find out more about how today's trucking fleets are working to improve safety.

Readers are asked to complete a short survey about what safety technologies and practices they're using and what they're considering adopting in the future. Those who complete the survey will receive a special report on the results that they can benchmark their fleets against.

The survey results will be used in the HDT annual Fact Book, a special August issue detailing industry statistics and trends. Each year going forward, HDT's editors be able to compare the results and in future years draw trend lines.

The results also will be used in other safety reporting by HDT editors and by our sister Bobit Business Media fleet brands, such as Work Truck.
