The objective of this study was to identify truck driver training issues. Based on the collision typology used, the two most common collision situations for truck-tractors in Michigan were multi-vehicle, non-intersection, same direction accidents, and single-vehicle collisions. Together these account for nearly 55% of all tractor accident involvements in Michigan. Among the single-vehicle accidents, loss of control was the most common initiating event. Slippery roads and empty trucks were strongly over-represented in this group. Over 70% of the same direction accidents were classified as lane encroachment situations. Approximately two-thirds of these collisions involved encroachment into the truck's lane by the other vehicle. In the other third, the truck struck a vehicle in the blind spot while making a lane change to the right.
