National Tank Truck Carriers Safety Award Winner
We are incredibly proud to be a National Tank Truck Carriers Safety Award winner. The award is given to tank truck carriers who have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to safety. According to Daniel R. Furth, President of the National Tank Truck Carriers, Inc., carriers who win this award “must absolutely embrace a safety culture from the drivers’ room to the board room.”
Keeping Our Drivers (And Roads) Safe
We are proud to deliver ongoing Driver Safety and Driver Education courses for all our drivers and Owner Operators to ensure that they are well-equipped and ready to operate our trailers safely and responsibly. We have strict safety procedures and protocols in place to ensure that our trucks are in compliance with all safety regulations.
Safety Beyond the Workplace
Our commitment to safety extends beyond being on the road. Safety applies to our families, loved ones, and communities in which we live. Whether on the road or at home, we understand the importance of preventative action in order to save and improve lives. That’s why we have partnered with the Canadian Cancer Society to help spread awareness, raise funds for world-class research, and improve the lives of all those affected by cancer.
At Northwest, safety is always our top priority and our commitment to safety guides us in every decision we make. As the industry leader, we are continuing to strive to improve our safety procedures, and ensure that all of us are leading by example. Safety is an integral part of the Northwest culture- it will always remain so, and we will continue to make the industry even safer for everyone.
