Carriers spend $14B per year on safety: ATA survey.

According to a survey conducted by the American Trucking Associations (ATA), the trucking industry spent $14 billion in 2022 on safety compliance, maintenance, and training. The survey collected information from carriers on various expenses related to safety, including hours of service, inspection logs, drug tests, and safety technology. The ATA emphasized that carriers of all sizes are committed to reducing crashes and making highways safer. While trucking regulations provide a baseline for safety, the industry goes beyond compliance by investing in technologies, training, and incentivizing safe driving behaviors.
