Operation Safe Driver Week Set to Take Place July 14th-20th
During Operation Safe Driver Week, law enforcement agencies across North America engage in heightened traffic safety enforcement and education. This year, Operation Safe Driver Week is aimed at combating unsafe driving behaviors to continue making our roads as safe as possible! Activities are held across the United States and Canada with the goal of increasing traffic enforcement, safety belt enforcement, driver roadside inspections, and driver regulatory compliance. This year’s focus will be on speeding. Law enforcement will be supporting the message: “Late won’t kill you, speeding will.” However, law enforcement will still be ticketing dangerous driving behavior throughout Operations Safe Driver Week. We know that our fleet is always focused on operating as safely as possible and applaud you all for your focus on safe driving!
Long Haul Rewards Elite Driving
We talk a lot about how awesome our fleet of drivers are and our commitment to ensuring they are given an opportunity to be rewarded for driving as safe and efficient teammates.

THE BOTTOM LINE
We Reward our Drivers Safe Driving Habits!
Pre and Post trip inspections are two key components that can promote a great deal of success in our day to day jobs. When we take the time to ensure that our rigs are running properly before and after each load, it sets us up for success and allows us to continue working hard, making money and steering clear of any violations that might slow us down while on the roads. Our fleet works too hard to have to deal with preventable slow downs which is why we always encourage our drivers to stay on top of any maintenance or technical issues that could be caught by a thorough pre-trip inspection. Thank you again to all of our drivers for the great work that you do on a day to day basis, we sincerely value your dedication to our team!
