Safety

 
     
 

Summitt Trucking, LLC has one of the most experienced Safety Departments in the industry.

With over 100 years of combined experience and knowledge, our nine member staff includes three members who have held director level positions at other Motor Carriers prior to joining the Summitt Team.

Our Safety Team is responsible for accident and injury investigation, risk management, regulatory compliance, driver and staff training, equipment credentials, and the overall safe interaction of our driving fleet with the motoring public. A senior member of the Safety Staff is always available 24 hours per day 365 days per year.

In an effort to provide our drivers with the safest work environment, Summitt utilizes the latest technology and training. Our trucks are equipped with Eaton Vorad Collision Avoidance systems, ergonomically designed automatic transmissions, and satellite-tracking systems, and are designed for overall comfort to minimize driver fatigue.

Summitt trucking employs three National Safety Counsel qualified Defensive Driving Instructors to lead our driver training efforts. To keep our fleet of drivers fully informed on the latest regulatory and policy changes and the latest industry related news, the Safety Staff offers quarterly meetings and monthly DDC classes as well as weekly individual and small group instruction on a variety of topics.
