Safety
Safety Is Not a Department. It's How We Operate.
Safety is built into our daily operations — from driver qualification and equipment inspections to compliance, maintenance and communication.
Safety Culture
Not a Checklist. A Way of Operating.
Safety isn't something we bolt on after the fact. It shapes how drivers are qualified, how equipment is maintained, how loads are planned, and how we communicate — every single day, on every load.
- Safety standards applied consistently, not selectively
- Equipment maintained before failure, not after
- Open communication between drivers, dispatch and operations
Driver Qualification
Every Driver Is Vetted. No Exceptions.
Before a driver runs a load for Freightage, they're evaluated against our safety standards — and that evaluation doesn't stop after the first mile.
Qualification Review
Valid CDL, verifiable driving experience and safety record are confirmed before a driver is approved.
Ongoing Monitoring
Driver performance and compliance are reviewed on an ongoing basis, not just at hiring.
Clean Record Standards
A verifiable, clean safety record is a baseline requirement — not a bonus qualification.
Compliance & Technology
ELD Compliant. Always.
Compliance isn't optional equipment — it's standard across the fleet, so hours-of-service and inspection records are accurate and available when they're needed.
ELD Compliance
Electronic logging across the fleet, keeping hours-of-service accurate.
FMCSA Regulations
Operations run in line with current federal motor carrier safety regulations.
Digital DVIR
Driver vehicle inspection reports completed and tracked digitally.
Hours-of-Service
Accurate, enforced hours-of-service tracking — no guesswork.
Equipment & Maintenance
Equipment Failure Is a Safety Issue.
Tractors and trailers are maintained on a disciplined preventive schedule — inspected before problems happen, not after. It's a safety standard as much as an operational one.
Compliance Verification
We'd Rather Confirm It Directly Than Guess in Public.
Operating authority, insurance and current FMCSA safety data change over time — so instead of publishing numbers that can go stale, we confirm them directly.
