Module 1 of 7
Fleet Safety Policy & Driver Standards
Learning Objectives
- Understand WCW's core safety expectations for all drivers
- Identify prohibited behaviors and their consequences
- Recognize the role of telematics and monitoring in safety accountability
Key Points from the Video
- Safety compliance is a condition of employment — it applies to every CDL and non-CDL driver, every vehicle, every day.
- You must meet the driver qualification standards: at least 21 years old, a valid license, DOT medical certification, and an acceptable Motor Vehicle Record (no DUI/DWI or preventable DOT recordable accidents within 3 years).
- Core standards: seatbelts always, obey speed limits, no handheld devices, safe following distance, minimize backing, stay rested and fit for duty, inspect daily.
- Telematics and video monitor driving behavior. Data is used for coaching and discipline; tampering or repeated unsafe events can lead to termination.
- All accidents must be reported to site leadership immediately, and post-accident drug/alcohol testing is mandatory where applicable.
Key Takeaways
- Safety compliance is a condition of employment — not optional
- Telematics data is actively reviewed and used for coaching and accountability
- All accidents must be reported immediately; post-accident testing is mandatory
