OUR DRIVING CONCERN IS SAFETY
We measure safe driving performance through various indicators, focusing on quality drivers and equipment. Total preventable accidents are tracked per million miles driven, and performance is continually measured against our own strong safety record for ongoing improvement. Driver hours of service records and motorist reports are closely reviewed to assist with driver coaching. New Averitt drivers undergo several days of onboarding training, which covers driving techniques, operational technology, accident reporting, equipment maintenance, hours of service compliance, and seat belt usage. Additionally, new drivers participate in an extensive backing and turning program during their last week of training, which is a rarity in the industry. All drivers must complete regular OSHA, FMCSA, and safety training programs, including periodic on-site classroom training and various online safety courses. We also employ a Safety Points System, where drivers gain points for participating in training and lose points for any incidents. This transparent system allows drivers to request additional training as needed, ensuring that safety remains a priority.
