[UNITED STATES, 11/15/2017] — The trucking sector is one of the most important industries in the country. It provides more than 8.7 million jobs and serves as the sole deliverer of goods for over 80 percent of communities. While trucking does help the country, truck driving is one of the most dangerous professions, with more yearly casualties than any other occupation, Centerline Drivers is aware of this.

Speeding, a Leading Cause of Fatal Accidents

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) discovered that 88 percent of trucking accidents are due to the actions of the driver. When it came to the primary cause of fatal accidents, a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) found that over one in five of all deadly truck crashes involved a trucker driving too fast in inclement weather or beyond the speed limit. Additionally, truckers may be speeding to adhere to deadlines within their limited driving hours.

Committed to Keeping Drivers Safe on the Road

Getting truck drivers to follow safe driving habits is vital for everyone’s safety on the road. When it comes to the safety of the driving public, Centerline Drivers has a Centerline Safety Program that aims to provide clients with the safest drivers on the road. The company employs Certified Transportation Professionals to supervise the safety program.

Some of the features of the program are:

• Ongoing training, mentoring, and evaluation of drivers on conduct, professionalism, and new or existing driving regulations
• Periodic ride-along with the company’s drivers to mentor and coach them for safe driving practices
• Mandatory quarterly safety training meetings

Additionally, if driving incidents occur, Centerline Drivers will conduct a full injury and accident investigation in partnership with the clients in gathering all the necessary information. This information will help the company and its customers come up with training methods to decrease future incidences.
