Company Goals
1. %100 usage of seat belts.
Smoot Brothers Transportation will track the company’s progress and report on drivers’ success. We know that drivers who don’t follow the law on buckling up may take other safety shortcuts as well, putting the company at risk.
2. Prohibit the use of U-turns.
U-turn maneuvers take the average truck at least 40 seconds to complete. During this maneuver, the vehicle is perpendicular to the lanes of travel and significantly increases the risk of severe under ride crashers, particularly when poor visibility is a factor. Drivers must plan ahead to avoid U-turns across lanes of travel.
