Transportation Industry -- Be Diligent with your Due Diligence
Authorities pulled an 18 wheeler over after they noticed that the driver was driving erratically. After verifying that the travel log was falsified they found 2 million dollars worth of drugs under the fruit he was transporting.
The success of any business rests with the trustworthiness of the people who conduct the day-to-day operations. In the transportation industry there are additional concerns about driver & vehicle safety, accurate travel logs and security of cargo. In addition, you need to feel confident that your planes, barges and trucks are not being used for unlawful purposes, such as in the example above. Adding pressure to your situation are the often stringent regulations imposed within your industry (such as the strict guidelines of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT)), which affect many of your hiring and personnel processes and decisions.
A good reputation in the industry is crucial to the further development of your business by attracting new customers and lowering your driver turnover rate. Keep building that reputation by instituting a formal program for screening your employees and contract drivers.
