Service One Transportation Prioritizes and Maintains Highest Level of Truck Driver Safety

Safely navigating America's roads through alert driving is essential to prevent dangerous collisions that threaten lives and property
PLYMOUTH, Wisc. - June 20, 2024 - Service One Transportation, a leading American trucking company, today announced it has invited a special guest speaker from the Wisconsin State Patrol to address the company on July 27, 2024. The event adds to the company's continual training in safety awareness and brings the most current and valuable information to safeguard drivers dealing with multiple factors as they move cargo.

Having an expert from the Wisconsin State Patrol to speak to issues on the road, trends and best practices is part of ongoing training that Service One provides to its drivers and staff to maintain excellence for the team and safety for everyone with whom they share the road. They know that following safety measures, maintaining vigilance, preparing for long and short hauls, and adhering to safety guidelines are fundamental to prevent accidents and ensure safety for everyone.

"Service One Transportation approaches all aspects of trucking, transportation and fulfillment from the perspective of comprehensive safety," said Mike Myszewski, Vice President of Service One Transportation. "We utilize only the best equipment that complies with the latest safety specifications. Service One mandates a strong maintenance program because the safety of our employees and the safety of the general public with whom we share the roadway is paramount."

He continued, "With such crowded roads and older, national infrastructure, there are so many more risk factors. Unfortunately, many truck accidents are a result of selfish driving by people driving cars. Every day we see drivers racing each other as if they are in the middle of a video game. There are also reckless car drivers who themselves are not aware that their actions affect everyone else on the road."

The corporate culture of Service One is primarily preventative. Service One is well known in the trucking industry as a company that prioritizes driver training, operations, and risk avoidance. To safeguard its truck drivers, Service One empowers drivers of big trucks with ongoing training that will inevitably save lives. It is now hiring qualified CDL A OTR Drivers.

According to Myszewski, "When cars make sudden, careless maneuvers, truck drivers often do not have the time or the physical space to react to these dangerous, careless drivers. We see it repeatedly, with more severe consequences to life and property, not to mention damage to state and federal road infrastructure, such as bridges. This will affect transportation for millions of people because of selfish and uniformed car drivers."

Myszewski added, "We have implemented a robust, preventive maintenance program to ensure that our company's equipment is dependable and safe, not only for the driver but also for the general motoring public that has to share the road with commercial motor vehicles."

Compliance and risk management are the basis of regular driver meetings. At these meetings, Service One reviews its current compliance, safety and accountability, and CSA scores. The measurements help the company build and maintain the highest level of driver behavior and can identify any aspect of the process that will appear as a red flag, particularly in unsafe driving categories.

Service One reviews the most obvious topics, including speeding, failure to follow traffic control devices, and improper lane usage. It dives deep into issues that affect not only the company, but also individual drivers if anyone is cited for any type of violations.

July 27 Training Session with Guest Speaker

On July 27, 2024, Service One will host a retired Wisconsin State Patrol guest speaker, who is an expert in the field of road safety. The officer will perform a direct review of the pre-trip inspection process for tractors and trailers to support drivers with equipment inspection and help prevent drivers from being shut down at a scale if their equipment is questioned.

The first concern of Service One is to train drivers and continually communicate all aspects of truck driver safety. Drivers are required to wear seat belts, drive at a safe speed, stay focused and avoid distracted driving. They must continually check blind spots, make careful wide turns and be aware of long stopping distances. Drivers are directed to always use turn signals and maintain their vehicles.

Some of the most critical issues that have an impact on safety and accident prevention include avoiding distractions by using mobile phones, whether that means looking at text messages or apps. Even adjusting the radio and looking down for a split second can be a matter of life or death.

Of course, being aware of blind spots is paramount. Making turns with large trucks and not seeing a small car because of severe weather, insufficient lighting or carelessness can result in accidents and even death. Service One drivers always err on the side of caution.

Service One advocates for collision avoidance technology and onboard cameras to help truckers identify dangers as early as possible. Route planning and constantly monitoring weather conditions is key. The company advocates for maintaining safe distances from other vehicles on the road to give truck drivers sufficient time to react to sudden stops or hazards, again preventing potential collisions.
