Safety

It's A Culture Our Leading Incentive

Safety is what it needs to be at Bulktran. Rather than a buzzword, it's our culture and our team's leading incentive.

This culture begins with recruiting high character people who possess the attitudes necessary to commit to safe driving habits and to engage in continuous improvement. Once on the job, hourly pay and bonus incentives structured around rigorous safety standards keep our team focused on maintaining safe roads and worksites.

Pairing strong character and proper incentives with proactive safety measures has proven to be an effective formula for creating a safer environment for your freight, your worksite and the roads we share.

Time is Safety

Industry standard pay models that neglect to account for drivers' time, such as mileage or fixed rates, incentivize drivers to be in a rush and create conflicts of interest with basic safety practices.

Triple checking, speaking up and driving defensively all take extra time but are vitally important to safe operation. This is why Bulktran drivers are paid hourly, making safety our leading incentive.

Real action, real results

High character people with properly aligned incentives is our foundation. Proactive risk mitigation is our practice. We are proud to highlight a few of the actions we take to exceed industry norms for safety.

Hourly Pay

Unlike most of our competition, we pay our drivers hourly, incentivizing defensive driving and diligence on site.

Weekly Safety Bonus

Measured by strict criteria and paid weekly as an immediate incentive, our drivers receive significant bonuses for serving you safely.

Onboard Technology

Advanced cameras and GPS systems proactively alert drivers of risky behavior, triggering them to make an immediate correction, such as slowing down or increasing vehicle following distance.

Tire Safety

Tire Pressure Monitoring and Automatic Inflation systems ensure our vehicles' tires are properly inflated at all times, reducing the risk of a dangerous blow out.

Maintenance

Our strategy is simple: over budget and over fix. Nothing gets pushed off. Our service to customers remains safe and uninterrupted.

Driver Communication

Respecting safe working hours and constantly communicating with drivers to ensure they are properly rested is paramount to providing the safe transportation of your freight.

"As a CDL driver of 48 years, I have seen many companies repeat the "Safety First" slogan, but few put it into action like Bulktran. From detailed training on speed, spatial awareness and taking corners to GPS controlled cameras with audible alerts of speeding and following too closely and with video clips of hazardous moments automatically emailed to us for review, I have never had this level of safety training. It is easy to become complacent as a driver, but this type of training and constant review has made me a much safer driver." -Bulktran Driver John Q.
