Safety

Accident Prevention

 

ACME is absolutely committed to a safe and efficient operation, and has installed a comprehensive Safety Awareness Program to accomplish this goal. ACME has one of the best safety records in the industry. Additionally, ACME employs a professional Accident Prevention Manager and staff, and carries a full line of cargo, workers' compensation, and auto liability insurance which meets or exceeds all Department of Transportation requirements. ACME's driver training, drug testing procedures, and Trailer Striping program enhance the effectiveness of our Accident Prevention program.

 

Driver Resources

 

ACME's strict hiring procedure is tops in the trucking industry. Not everyone can qualify to join the ACME team. On the average, 40% of our driver applicants do not meet ACME's standards and are not hired.

 

The driver hiring process, along with our ongoing Professional Driving Seminars, help our drivers to be considered the finest in the industry. ACME drivers attend a monthly Safety meeting which covers Safety Procedures and keeps drivers informed of customer needs and requirements, as well as changes in the industry.

 

To keep the drivers actively thinking Safety, ACME has developed an ongoing Safety Program that rewards the driver for being safe and thinking safe.

 

All of these make ACME's drivers #1 in the trucking industry.

 

Hazardous Materials Program

 

Acme safely ships hundreds of Hazardous Materials loads each month. The shipment of Hazardous Materials has become an ever-increasing and ever changing concern. ACME has a Hazardous Materials training course for all its drivers to keep them informed of these changes. ACME maintains a Hazardous Materials Response team on call 24 hours a day.
