SAFETY FIRST

Best Transportation puts safety at the forefront of our operations and is our single highest priority.

We believe our safety-focused culture is the driving factor behind our success. From our drivers and administrative staff to our management team, we make a point of being safety conscious in everything we do—whether we’re in an ocean marine terminal, on the road, in the office, or at a customer’s location.

Not only do we get your containers to you on time—we get them to you safely.

Best Transportation’s standards of safety start with our people, our outlook, training, processes, equipment and technology; these components work together to minimize risk and maximize the safety of our personnel, the motoring public and our customers’ cargo.

We work hard to ensure safety, compliance, and quality control over all areas of our business – from regional drayage, intermodal transportation, transloading and container yard storage—you can rely on Best Transportation!

Our Safety and Compliance Department is committed to maintaining “Safety First”

Lisa Brucheski

Best Transportation employs a full time, on-site Director of Safety and Compliance. Our Safety Director, Lisa Brucheski, has been with Best Transportation for a number of years and has over 30 years of experience in safety in the trucking industry. She is an expert in DOT/FMCSA Drug & Alcohol regulations and compliance.

Our Safety team closely monitors drivers driving habits, driving records, and efficiency of deliveries. Consistent inspections are conducted, and mandated safety trainings are provided; in addition to random drug and alcohol testing programs, audits of DOT, drivers’ logs, and compliances.

We carefully select only experienced drivers to join our team of company drivers. We never employ owner-operators. Best drivers start and end the day at our location.

All Best drivers pass rigorous background checks and are required to hold TWIC Cards and Sealink Cards and issued Company ID’s. Our individual drivers average 10+ years of experience. Our drivers are well paid, have a great benefit package and more; resulting in little turnover.

All Best Transportation trucks are equipped Electronic Logging Devices’ (ELD) to record driving time for accurate hours of service. Our Safety Department not only monitors HOS, but harsh braking and speeding events which are reviewed immediately. Real-time driver coaching is used to educate and continually train our drivers on improving their driving habits.
