Abstract
⺠We examine the relationship between owner operators and safety. ⺠We model total crashes and crash severity. ⺠Firms that contract with owner operators have fewer crashes. ⺠The share of owner operators is unrelated to crash severity. ⺠Very small firms (one driver, one truck) have lower crash risk, but higher crash severity.
