based on the number of fatalities per 100,000 residents during 2005,

Sheesh!

Wyoming, with I-80 crossing the Continental Divide, sees more continuous truck traffic than many other states, while having a tiny population skews the figures out of any semblance of reality.

That most likely applies elsewhere, too.

Let them try rerunning the figures based on fatalities/100,000 trucker miles in each state, although that probably wouldn't push their agenda.

Wyoming, with I-80 crossing the Continental Divide, sees more continuous truck traffic than many other states, while having a tiny population skews the figures out of any semblance of reality.

Precisely ... Connecticut, ranked the safest, is approximately 10% the size of Wyoming and has a population of 3.45 million. Wyoming, a population of a little over 501 thousand. These are bogus statistics formulated to push an agenda.
