Safety is such a big part of your intermodal trucking and drayage operation and should be one of your top priorities. Today even with a satisfactory safety rating there are customers that will not use you if your Safety Evaluations (SEAs) are too high. Unfortunately your SEAs are based on areas where you may not have any direct control. Intermodal Chassis are not always maintained properly, and all too often your owner operators won't take the time to inspect the equipment they are pulling before they leave the yard...especially if they are running late for an appointment. Since the amount of time your drivers are pulled over for a level 2 DOT inspection is directly related to your SEAs scores, it is critical that you focus on reducing these numbers...and it will become more critical in 2010!
The other critical part of safety is compliance. Driver background checks, random drug tests, log auditing, and collecting maintenance reports are just some of the items that need constant attention. If not, you risk losing everything if an accident happens and you are found negligent becuase you failed to perform one of these very crucial functions.
