What are trucking fleets doing about advanced safety technology? Safety training and driver incentives? Speed limiters and in-cab cameras? Drug testing? HDT’s third safety survey aims to find out.

Heavy Duty Trucking and Work Truck are teaming up once again to find out more about how today’s medium- and heavy-duty trucking and vocational fleets are working to improve safety.

HDT’s editors are asking fleet managers to participate in this project by completing a short survey about what safety technologies and practices they are using and plan to use in the future.

The editors of HDT and sister brand Work Truck launched the study in 2021 to offer insight into safety and compliance practices and trends among truck fleets.

Results of this year’s survey will be compared to our safety surveys from 2021 and 2022 to help define trends. HDT will report on the results and also use the information to help plan content that best serves fleet safety managers.

The survey should take about six minutes to complete. Survey closes March 25.
