On the Road
Driving performance is as critical to our company’s success as any other aspect of our operation. To continually monitor and improve driving performance, we have implemented:
- Speed Gauge – Tracks driver habits and sends emails instantaneously if a driver exceeds the
threshold set by the safety team. All drivers are scored on speeding and awarded for safe driving habits. - Lytx Dash Cams – 3rd party company that captures at-risk driving habits and sends the video to the Elite safety team for the purpose of coaching and mentoring our drivers. This tool has changed the dynamics of our company.
Safety Stats:
- 5 million miles without a major accident and counting

We believe that by working together and making safety a critical part of our day-to-day operations, we can achieve our primary goals – zero harm to every individual and zero environmental impact.
