Our drivers are best-in-class, meeting CDL license requirements and upholding safe driving records. Each of our drivers also has verifiable employment histories and experience and undergoes drug testing, medical examinations, and a criminal background check.
In addition to ongoing preventative maintenance, our vehicles receive biannual DOT maintenance inspections from an approved, independent and qualified vendor.
We are committed to continually improving our safety offerings with a focus on the CSA safety improvement categories.
