Safety & Reliability

Synonymous with Safety

Source One is committed to safety and reliability. You can have peace of mind knowing that Source One remains diligent in our pursuit of new ways to ensure the safety of our drivers, customers and the community. Our commitment to safety is exemplified through the following:

Driver Training

Highly trained, experienced and professional drivers.
Safe driving training through Smith Systems, the same program utilized by more than half of Fortune 500 fleets such as ExxonMobil, FedEx and Roadway Express.

Vehicle Maintenance

Vehicle replacement strategy that keeps maintenance costs low and offers customers competitive rates and clean, reliable vehicles. In fact, we replace our trucks every five years so that the average truck in our fleet is only about 2 ½ years old.

Our Safety Commitment

Safety In Every Decision

Our commitment to safety includes incorporating safety across all facets of our business. We require background checks for all of our employees and hire only experienced drivers. We monitor weather patterns and install event recorders in our trucks to ensure optimal conditions for deliveries and mandate that if a delivery is deemed unsafe, it will remain unscheduled until the situation is resolved.

Four-tiered Safety Infrastructure

At the top level, our Executive Safety committee establishes best practices and protocols for Company-wide safety and security. Safety committees determine how those protocols can be best implemented, as well as discuss any potential safety issues. Safety champions then take the safety information back to their teams within the organization and serve as advocates and liaisons between the safety committees and the rest of the team. This process is how safety practices are distributed and implemented to the fourth tier: all Source One employees.

Safety Recognition

Our driving employees are dedicated to delivering products everyday incident-free and error-free. They deliver this promise of high-quality service and are recognized quarterly for their efforts with a safety incentive package that reflects outstanding continued performance.

Robust Safety Training

We understand that safety starts with the proper training. Our world-class education programs often exceed regulatory requirements to meet high Company standards. Our employees are well-prepared to do their jobs and ensure their own safety and the safety of others. Smith System training is required for all of our professional drivers and is highly encouraged for all employees. Additional training programs include OSHA 10 and Safeland.
