abstract="This paper uses recent safety auditing data from a large sample of ICC-certificated carriers to (1) re-examine once again the issue of difference in accident rates between estabished carriers and new entrants and (2) to examine the issue of whether the safety/risk management policies and programs of the new entrants and, particularly, the &quot;newest&quot; of the new entrants are substantially inferior to those of the established carriers.  The study results show that, based on approximately 7,000 safety audits during 1987-88, the &quot;newest&quot; of the new entrants have significantly higher accident rates than both established carriers and new entrants.  The analysis further indicates that the risk management and safety policies of the &quot;newest&quot; of the new entrants are deficient, particularly in the areas of driver hours of service, vehicle maintenance, and general safety training.<p />",
