[Audio] Safety is a foundational part of all business practices in the company with a strong safety culture. It underpins everything the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and other regulators look for. Violations from these organizations are often symptoms of a much larger, underlying problem — a lack of safety culture in the business. It's more than just implementing safety policies — it's about developing the mindsets that drive the business forward..

[Audio] Following safety guidelines is very important in many different ways. Firstly, better maintaining the truck, following speed limits and other road rules will avoid any kind of accidents that may result serious consequences. Secondly, brokers always pay attention to carrier safety score before booking a load for the carrier. They want their cargo to be delivered securely and ready to pay more for trusted carriers. Also, MVR background report is very important for drivers and every safety inspection is a chance to get a violation. Violation report has a great impact on future job applications in all companies. Four, nowadays maintenance fee is high rocket and may ruin all weekly or monthly earnings. Five, overall safety score is the key factor for inspectors. Bad safety score - more inspections. Six, companies always try to retain safe drivers because they save more for company and for themselves. Moreover, they are accountable for company's business reputation. Finally, the company is happy to share money rewards or recognition if no violation occurred during inspections, at checkin and checkouts, at weigh stations..

[Audio] So how safety score is calculated? FMCSA collects all inspection reports, ELD logs and other various reports, then divides into categories. Categories include "unsafe driving", " accident", "hours of service" and " drugs and alcohol". Vehicle technical condition, driving behavior reports belong to 'unsafe driving" sections. Zero indicates the best performance..

[Audio] E-log violation reports belong to 'hours of service" category. Proper usage of e-logs enhance the efficiency of dispatch and management staff of trucking companies. So, every single action of a driver that related to safety performance is linked to his future opportunities, his earnings, his safety and health, and his time..

[Audio] One of the main reason of truck driver violations is carelessness. Due to that fact company safety score falls, brokers deny to give loads, frequency of inspections rises and violations correlatively. Maintenance fees don't allow company and drivers to make a profit, other safe drivers start to suffer. To avoid those incidents the driver is to face charges of negligence imposed by the company. Depending on violation type each category has its own articles. Detailed articles are available upon request and included in all pre-employment applications. Some articles have zero tolerance policy which means those particular violations lead to direct termination. These advancements and penalties in active safety systems are designed to help prevent or mitigate road crashes, violations, spoiling company image, load denials. This means that the fleet needs to embrace a safety culture at all levels of the business..
