experience, Britton Transport developed a Driver Finishing pro-
gram. This nine-week program offers inexperienced drivers an
opportunity to gain hands-on experience from Britton Transport's
expert driver trainers. Britton Transport also emphasizes continu-
ous learning. They assign each of their drivers to attend at least
two required safety courses per quarter.
The results are impressive. With a fleet of 97 trucks, Britton
Transport had an accident frequency of .32 in over 9.2 million
miles of operation.
"We are thrilled to be the recipient of the 2014 Volvo Trucks
Safety Award," says Jim Stockeland, president of Britton Trans
-
port. "This award does not speak to one person's efforts, or even
a department's efforts, but to a continual effort on behalf of the
entire company to purposefully protect others."
