Accidents are directly related to driving offenses, and drivers who commit more offenses, are more prone to accidents. Therefore, reducing driving offenses can reduce accidents. Hence, the recognition of common driving offenses among heavy vehicle (truck) drivers and the effective factors in directing them to reduce driving offenses can consequently reduce the frequency and severity of accidents. Thus, there is a necessity for further studies to carry out research in this regard more than ever before. The main objective of this study is to identify and evaluate important factors affecting lorry drivers committing traffic offenses. To achieve the goals, the required information categorized into six categories: traffic tonnage, not wearing a seatbelt, speeding, technical defect, talking to cellphone, lacking a scalp sheet which these factors are known as dependent variables. Also, its influencing factors - in the group of driver characteristics, vehicle and mileage - were conducted by using a demographic questionnaire and driving behavior (DBQ) questionnaire and interviews with 652 drivers over 60 days at the shahid Khabiri Terminal in Mashhad. And after correcting or removing incomplete questionnaires, 583 drivers' information was used for statistical analysis. Besides, statistical analysis of data using a multivariate logistic regression model showed that drivers who discharging and loading five or six times per month are less likely to commit overloading than drivers who discharging and loading more than 12 times per month. The results also show that drivers with less slip behavior and not so-called distraction are less likely to commit unauthorized speed offenses and 85.4% less likely to commit this violation. Finally, analysis of statistical analysis showed that drivers with aggressive driving behavior were more likely to commit lacking a scalp sheet offense.
