Make
the RIGHT turn to safety in 2008! Welcome to Five Stars Safety and Compliance.
Five Stars provides quality and experienced safety and compliance
training for the smaller transportation operation.
If you operate any type of vehicle for commerce, from over the road trucking operations, dump trucks or other construction
type vehicles, small plumbing or air conditioning/heating trucks, vans, funeral home drivers, day care buses, or
any other type of motor vehicle then your drivers, and support staff need and require on-going safety and compliance training!
A comprehensive training program is invaluable in today's motor vehicle business world. Keeping up with changing regulations
and rules is hard enough for the safety professional with access to association meetings, trade magazines, government information,
and on going safety training. For the transportation/trucking business manager or owner, it's just about impossible. Unfortunately
not knowing the latest rules and regulations can have a negative effect on your bottom line. DOT fines can add up in a hurry!
Not only must you know these changing rules, but all of your employees as well! Then all of your training must be documented!
Training can take place in your office, shop,in house, meeting facilities, or even on the road with your driver. You
design the safety training that your company needs though a
menu of training choices.
Having an experienced safety professional on your staff will help reduce insurance rates,
and possible prevent them from rising higher! Call and ask your insurance agent. If you were to choose an experienced training
professional as a consultant, what would it do for your insurance costs. Also, you will be assured that your documents will
be in order when the Department of Transportation (DOT) auditor visits! This alone is worth the value of any costs associated
with safety training. Knowing that you are complying with DOT rules/regulations, working towards driver safety and improvement
will give you peace of mind.
Five Stars is commited to affordable safety services for the smaller transportation
business. If you operate any type of commercial motor vehicle, then you need to call me!
Is your small transportation
company unable to afford a full time safety professional?
Then this is the answer to having your safety goals met.
Today, if a State or Federal DOT - auditor knocked on your business door, would you be prepared, to pass this audit
with a satisfactory rating? Or would your company face fines or a conditional rating with only days to get into compliance?
Would you possibly be forced to closed the doors of your business?
Are insurance rates forcing you to cut corners, raises,
and limiting your growth?
Are you and your company prepared for that inevitable visit from folks at TDOT or the
Federal DOT auditors?
Are your Driver Qualification files in order, and up to date? Do you really know what information
is really required, and what information you DO NOT want in this file?
Are you confident that your drivers are operating
within full compliance?
Have your drivers been informed of driver disqualifications for an accident or ticket
in their own private vehicles as of September 2005? How about load securement regulations that are being enforced?
Do your drivers know what to do in the event they have an
accident? Have they been instructed on how to photograph
an accident scene, and what you don't want photographed? Do
your drivers know what questions to ask witnesses? Have they been briefed on accident company procedures?
If the answer
is "No, or I am not sure," then this could cost your business more money than you could imagine.
Are
you tired of higher insurance premiums, accidents, workmen compensation losses, breakdowns, Out of Service Orders, and other
profit reducing losses?
Are your dispatchers, other management or supervisors fully trained
in the DOT requirement of Drug and Alcohol Awareness Reasonable Suspicion Two Hour course? (FMCSA 382.603)
Are you unable to afford or justify a full time, experienced safety person, because you are a smaller transportation operation?
