Transportasi truk memiliki peran penting dalam menunjang distribusi barang dan logistik di wilayah banda aceh dan aceh besar. pengemudi truk yang berdomisili di kedua wilayah tersebut memiliki pola operasional yang beragam, yaitu melayani perjalanan di dalam maupun di luar wilayah banda aceh dan aceh besar, sehingga berpotensi menghadapi kondisi lalu lintas dan risiko kecelakaan yang berbeda. penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi karakteristik sosiodemografi dan pengalaman mengemudi pengemudi truk, mengetahui karakteristik perilaku mengemudi berdasarkan instrumen driving behaviour questionnaire (dbq), menentukan faktor-faktor perilaku utama yang terbentuk melalui exploratory factor analysis (efa), serta menganalisis indikator yang paling berpengaruh terhadap setiap faktor yang terbentuk. penelitian menggunakan data primer yang diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner dbq kepada 350 pengemudi truk dengan teknik purposive sampling. berdasarkan kriteria pengemudi yang memiliki pengalaman mengemudi selama 10–20 tahun, diperoleh 124 responden yang memenuhi syarat penelitian. hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mayoritas responden berusia 31–40 tahun, berpendidikan sma/sederajat, memiliki sim b, dan berpenghasilan rp3,5–5 juta per bulan. karakteristik perilaku mengemudi umumnya berada pada kategori risiko rendah, meskipun masih ditemukan perilaku distraksi, terutama merokok, makan, dan penggunaan telepon seluler saat mengemudi. hasil uji kelayakan data menunjukkan nilai kaiser-meyer-olkin (kmo) sebesar 0,666 sehingga data layak dianalisis menggunakan efa. analisis menghasilkan enam faktor utama, yaitu driving inattention and distraction, traffic rule violations, driving errors, high-risk violations, distracted risky behavior, dan secondary task distraction. indikator yang paling dominan adalah kesalahan dalam memahami rambu lalu lintas hingga melaju ke arah yang salah dengan nilai factor loading sebesar 0,880. hasil penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi dasar dalam upaya peningkatan keselamatan lalu lintas bagi pengemudi truk. kata kunci: perilaku mengemudi, truk, dbq, efa, keselamatan lalu lintas

Truck transportation plays an important role in supporting the distribution of goods and logistics in Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar. Truck drivers residing in these areas have diverse operational patterns, serving routes both within and outside Banda Aceh and Aceh Besar, thereby facing different traffic conditions and accident risks. This study aims to identify the sociodemographic characteristics and driving experience of truck drivers, examine their driving behavior characteristics based on the Driving Behaviour Questionnaire (DBQ), determine the main behavioral factors formed through Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and analyze the most influential indicators of each factor. Primary data were collected by distributing DBQ questionnaires to 350 truck drivers using a purposive sampling technique. Based on the criterion of having 10–20 years of driving experience, 124 respondents met the research requirements. The results showed that the majority of respondents were 31–40 years old, had completed senior high school education, possessed a Class B driving license, and earned a monthly income of IDR 3.5–5 million. In general, driving behavior was categorized as low risk; however, distracted behaviors such as smoking, eating, and mobile phone use while driving were still observed. The data adequacy test yielded a Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value of 0.666, indicating that the data were suitable for EFA. The analysis identified six main factors: Driving Inattention and Distraction, Traffic Rule Violations, Driving Errors, High-Risk Violations, Distracted Risky Behavior, and Secondary Task Distraction. The most dominant indicator was misreading or misunderstanding traffic signs, causing drivers to proceed in the wrong direction, with a factor loading value of 0.880. These findings are expected to provide a basis for improving traffic safety among truck drivers. Keywords: driving behavior, truck drivers, DBQ, EFA, road safety
