[QUOTE="headlight, post: 1228007, member: 19530"] Always room to improve, you got that right. I inspect my vans once a week myself and my drivers are to do pre/post every day and sign off on it on my own weekly safety handout on top of the input in the scanners during log-out. My rural guys can end up 120 or more miles from the terminal in below freezing temps, sometimes even below zero temps, most are not willing to risk being that far away in a truck they haven't deemed road worthy. Another contractor has a 0 tolerance policy on speeding, one speeding violation costs you a job. It's pretty simple, fedex has implemented a "safety first" policy, I'm doing the same with my drivers. It's only boxes, they can wait. Safety first. You have to be directly involved in it in order to get the drivers to buy into your ways. And you have to be willing to let someone go if they dont comply. It's never fun hiring and training new people but keeping an unsafe driver on is just asking for a bigger problem down the road.
