There is lots more to the episode than just trip planning for Smith Transport. Dan breaks down the things he sees as a Driver Mentor, his advice, he offers tips and suggestions that will help keep you moving.
The Smith Transport Driver Mentor team was created to help you as you adjust to life at Smith Transport. Don't be afraid to reach out for help, get their opinion, or ask for them to intervene on your behalf to Operations or Maintenance. They are here to help.
Dan breaks down what he sees as a Driver Mentor in the Smith Transport fleet on fatigue issues. He breaks it down and doesn't hold back on his thoughts.
Fatigue affects your ability to drive safely.
Driver fatigue is a major workplace safety risk.
Maybe… you’re not happy at your current trucking company but you’re cautious about taking a leap of faith and starting at Smith Transport: the black truck and black trailers with a golden eagle wing logo on the side.
Maybe you’d like to hear what a driver that just went through orientation things – well we’ve got that -- last week Mikey V went through orientation in Roaring Spring, PA has a YouTube channel called; FRESHWHITE TEE. He has made videos about every single day of orientation and first look inside/outside of our equipment and more. He’s not being paid to do this, it’s not all rainbows and butterflies either, he gives the hard truth from a driver's perspective.
