The report contains a series of distributions of variables from UMTRI's file of Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents, 1988. The file combines the coverage of the Fatal Accident Reporting System (FARS) data with the detail of the Office of Motor Carrier (OMC) data. Following an introductory section on the TIFA survey procedure, a trend section tracks the incidence of large truck fatal involvements from 1980, the initial data year of TIFA, through 1988. The next section provides an overview of the fatal involvements in 1988, with most of the distributions presented on the basis of power unit type, comparing straight trucks with tractor combinations. Following this are a pair of sections that focus separately on straight trucks and tractor combinations in more detail, with the distributions presented on the basis of cargo body style. The final section compares the fatal accident experience of tractor-semitrailers with that of tractors with twin trailers.
