Comprehensive motor carrier safety analysis combining FMCSA registration data with NHTSA fatality statistics for New Jersey.
Executive Summary
According to NHTSA's Fatality Analysis Reporting System (FARS), New Jersey recorded 670 traffic fatalities in 2024, representing a 10.7% increase from the previous year, raising safety concerns. Large trucks were involved in 69 of these incidents (10.3% of total fatalities). The state's fatality rate of 7.0 per 100,000 residents remains below the national average of 11.5 per 100,000 residents.

Economic Context
New Jersey's position adjacent to the Port of New York/New Jersey makes it indispensable for East Coast logistics. Despite its small size, the state's $887 billion economy processes a disproportionate share of the nation's containerized imports through its warehousing and distribution network.

Combined, these 10 carriers account for 926 of the state's 8443 total carrier-involved incidents—a disproportionate 11.0% of all crashes from just 0.01% of registered carriers. Shippers and freight brokers are advised to conduct thorough due diligence when engaging carriers with multiple incidents on record.
