The Importance of Driver Safety and Testing

To elevate truck driver safety and overall transportation standards, we have established a dedicated team focused on developing driver monitoring protocols and analyzing critical data. Emphasis is placed on the proper use of equipment and active monitoring of driving hours through advanced ELD systems. Our practices align with FMCSA regulations regarding safety standards, including mandatory drug and alcohol testing for drivers.

An integral part of our preventive safety culture in the global supply chain is reducing extended driving hours and ensuring regular driver testing for drug and alcohol use. These measures ensure that all drivers meet the highest safety standards.

Vehicle Inspection and Maintenance

Routine vehicle inspection and maintenance are crucial for accident prevention and fleet longevity. In collaboration with our Maintenance Department, we develop and implement preventative maintenance plans to avoid potential vehicle breakdowns that could lead to accidents. Beyond DOT inspections, we closely monitor vehicle conditions via ELD systems to ensure compliance with FMCSA regulations. These measures not only enhance road safety but also extend vehicle lifespans, reducing risks associated with technical failures during operation.

Compliance with Legal Regulations

Our Safety Department ensures adherence to FMCSA and other regulatory body requirements, including rules on driving hours, rest breaks, and vehicle inspections. The team conducts internal audits to verify regulatory compliance and maintains meticulous records of inspections and violations. Responsibilities include tracking driver hours, performing regular technical checks, and meeting all other legal obligations.
