Transport Topics reports that truck-related traffic fatalities hit an all-time low in 2009, dropping 20% according to the National Highway Traffice Safety Administration. Obviously, this is great news for Cheetah and our customers, and we thought we'd pass  it along.According to TT, the statistics are pretty striking:

Total fatalities fell to 3,380, from 4,245 in 2008, NHTSA said. The total includes truck occupants, occupants of other vehicles and people who were not in vehicles, such as pedestrians.

The figure is the lowest since records began in 1975. Large truck occupants saw the largest decrease in fatalities among all groups tracked by NHTSA, falling 26%.

Here's to continuing the trend!
