The search for a solution of the problem is possible and reasonable for both the trucking industry and the general public appears to be a difficult task. However, the campaign operation safe driver tried to fight against the deadly accident of a driver at a time.

Last year alone, OSD, the campaign carried out road checks 261 to motor carriers with a history of unsafe practices including the use of vehicles after they had announced, out-out-of-service and leasing of dangerous drivers. The campaign goal of OSD is to enforce the regulations already in place to protect truck drivers and other drivers on the road. OSD officials say that many fatal accidents, followed by commercial vehicles by drivers or their companies do not like rules rest periods for drivers and truck safety. Therefore, if they apply certain laws that are already present, they estimate that the number of fatal accidents is reduced.

In addition to the enforcement of existing laws, OSD of the campaign also participated in the training of drivers of passenger vehicles, how to avoid accidents with tractor trailers. Some recent report from National Statistics, 88% of car accidents during commercial vehicle and driver error of one or the other driver. The same report shows that almost 78% of deaths from these accidents were riding or driving in the car.
