Miles driven are up ~20%, and there was an accounting change in 2016, and the NHTSA says <2020 shouldn't be compared to after.

Directionally this still looks accurate, and give thousands of truck driver deaths per year, its significant.

Isn't road safety in general getting way way better? So that'd make the truck situation even worse.

From a quick analysis, non-trucker fatalities per mile was about even or slightly increased from 2014-2023. I would conclude it’s not worse than it appears in the trucking situation.
