Truck drivers’ safety on the road isn’t just essential for their health and well-being, as their safety directly has a huge impact on other motorists on the road.

In addition to that, both driving quality and safety are closely tied to reputation of the company and the highest possible quality of delivering the load.

You may well know all these things, but it’s always nice to be reminded every now and then.
