Buffer Blunders

Methodology: This study is based on an online panel survey of 3,015 truckers, conducted to determine which parts of the United States are perceived to have the worst drivers. The sample was designed to reflect a balanced mix across age, gender, and geography. To ensure statistical reliability, internal data sources were used to establish national population benchmarks, and a two-step process was applied: stratified sampling followed by post-stratification weighting. This ensured the results accurately represent the broader U.S. population of professional drivers. The survey was conducted in September 2025.
