Younger truck drivers are more likely to receive a traffic conviction or violation, the OOIDA Foundation has found.

Using the American Transportation Research Institute’s study “Predicting Truck Crash Involvement 2018,” drivers aged 20-39 were the group most likely to be involved in a crash.

Statistics for violations and convictions were taken from Motor Carrier Management Information System inspection and crash data, along with Commercial Driver’s License Information System conviction data, from 2013. From Jan. 1, 2013 until Dec. 31, 2014, the drivers in this analysis were involved in 31,098 FMCSA reported crashes.

“For the 11 conviction categories predicted to more likely be involved in future crashes, drivers between the ages of 20 and 39 had the highest percentage in all categories,” the OOIDA Foundation wrote in its one-pager on the topic.
