6 steps to a safer fleet
Those of us who have made careers out of trucking safety often believe that a great safety program will solve all problems. While this is not entirely true, a good safety program can certainly help to reduce the number of accidents.

That being said, there are a few key concepts that can help to improve safety in any trucking fleet. These concepts are easy to understand and have been proven to be effective in the field.
