These results come from a survey of 618 drivers of large trucks conducted at three truck stops on Interstate 81 and Interstate 95 in Virginia. These truck stops were chosen in order to interview large truck drivers engaged in intrastate hauling in Virginia, and interstate hauling across Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland and North Carolina. The survey was conducted by the Center for Public Policy at Virginia Commonwealth University on behalf of the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles and the Multi-State Motor Carrier Project.
