2020 was a year like no other for the trucking industry. In the midst of a pandemic, fleets had to step up and focus on deliveries while creating a workplace that honed in on culture and driver satisfaction. Building the driver culture has been a result of calculated programs and incentives including a move to paperless onboarding for drivers, more focus on quality home time, weekly business video updates to drivers, additional safety and training programs, monthly roundtable lunches with drivers/staff, Chief Carriers’ Driver App for real-time communication, and a robust mentor program. “Chief is consistently focused on driver culture and satisfaction. We understand that our success is due to our people, past and present, and the commitment to our vision drives our growth into the future,” said Andrew Winkler, Chief Carrier’s general manager. “Out of an estimated 30,000 trucking companies eligible to participate in the Best Fleets program, we are elated to be recognized for providing a leading workplace in the trucking industry.” |
