[QUOTE="Belthos, post: 2222098, member: 24944"] I put in over a million miles driving OTR in a 18 wheel truck. In 2000 the death rate for accidents involving large commercial trucks was 1.2 fatalities per 100 million miles driven. Not just 18 wheelers, I couldn't find information that specific. There were 208 Billion miles driven by large trucks that year according to the government. Bear in mind that this figure does not attribute blame for the accident. The vast majority of all Large truck and small vehicle accidents are found to be caused by the driver of the small vehicle. Accident rates per million miles for heavy trucks have been dropping for the last decade and are lower than at any time in prior history. [/QUOTE]
