SAFETY INCENTIVES & AWARDS

USTRANSPORT promotes and endorses our drivers for industry awards and recognition of their professionalism.

DRIVER OF THE YEAR AND DRIVER OF THE MONTH AWARDS

The Colorado Motor Carrier Yearly Safety Awards are given to drivers based on their safe driving records, acts of courtesy or safety on the highway, or for performing a heroic deed. They award companies for their outstanding safety records and safety programs. These awards are highly coveted as over 300 member companies apply for these awards every year. Out of all the drivers entered only two drivers are awarded a Driver of the Year Award. Only the best of the best get this award and USTRANSPORT is extremely proud of our winners.

IN CAB CAMERAS COACHING

USTRANSPORT utilizes in cab cameras to identify and analyze our driver performance. With consistent and comprehensive coaching, we maintain best-in-class drivers while protecting customers with 24/7 monitoring.

MODERN FLEET

Our young, modern fleet is made up of state-of-the-art Kenworth trucks. These top of the line vehicles are maintained with preventative maintenance programs for complete assurance in addition to advanced roll stability and advanced disk brakes for first-class safety.

COMPLIANCE, SAFETY, ACCOUNTABILITY

USTRANSPORT is a leader in transportation safety. Our current ISS score is 39 and continues to trend downward indicating best in class safety performance.

USTRANSPORT’s safe on road performance is directly reflected in our CSA scores. The CSA program of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) holds motor carriers and drivers accountable for their role in safety. We continuously strive to improve our safety performance to eliminate crashes and unsafe behavior. We closely monitor our scores to continuously improve our safety program and maintain excellence in compliance with state and federal enforcement agencies.

CSA affects motor carriers, including owner-operators, by identifying those with safety problems to prioritize them for interventions such as warning letters and investigations. CSA affects drivers because their safety performance and compliance impact their safety records and, while working for a carrier, will impact their carrier’s safety record.
