The survey, commissioned by ZoomSafer, shows 62 percent of companies have adopted written policies against cell phone use while driving - but only half attempt to enforce their own policies. Other findings include:
- 50% of companies with more than 500 drivers have knowledge or evidence of phone-related crashes.
- 7.6% of companies have faced litigation for damages alleged to have occurred as a result of employee use of cell phones while driving. For companies with >5000 drivers, the rate is 37%.
- Long-haul and local trucking companies were the most likely to have written cell phone policies (71% and 83% respectively) while home and business services companies were least likely (< 50%).
- 25% of respondents who claimed to have a policy declined to answer how such policies were enforced. Among companies that did answer the policy enforcement question, 61% said they utilized "post-incident" employee discipline to enforce compliance.
