This report provides one-way frequencies for all the variables in UMTRI's file of Trucks Involved in Fatal Accidents, 1981. This file combines the coverage of the FARS data with the detail of the BMCS data. Where no BMCS report could be found for a medium or heavy truck listed by FARS, UMTRI conducted a survey, by telephone interview or by mail, to obtain the desired information on ownership, type of trip, vehicle configuration, cargo, weights, and lengths. Overall, 87.0% of the FARS medium and heavy trucks were found to be correctly classified. The 5,244 vehicles found to be medium and heavy trucks were divided into 1,443 straight trucks and 3,765 tractors. Of the latter, 3,606 were combination vehicles.
