Lake Trucking Company has always been dedicated to operating its vehicles and facility in a safe manner.  “Working safely is a condition of employment” is written on our letterhead, and on the bottom of every safety newsletter we print for our employees.  It is not just a slogan or motto to us.  We have taken great strides to make our working conditions safe for all our employees.  At Lake Trucking we are very proud of our extremely low workman’s comp history and our low accident rating.

Lake Trucking supports the latest standards of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) for assuring that accurate records of appropriate commercial licensing, medical and safety records of our professional drivers are maintained in a single electronic record system accessible to state and federal enforcement officials.  Drivers undergo periodic physical qualification examinations by trained medical practitioners to ensure uniform and consistent health standards are met.

We understand the concerns shippers have and how a carrier’s safety rating could affect them.  Lake Trucking is dedicated to trucking safety, and so we emphasize trucking regulations and driver awareness in our safety training and meetings.  All of our drivers take recurrent safety instruction to keep abreast of the latest safety techniques.
