A Culture With A “Safety Is Priority One” Commitment

Safety stands as an unwavering cornerstone within the transportation and logistics industry. It plays a pivotal role in ensuring the well-being of personnel and the motoring public, safeguarding valuable cargo, and maintaining the integrity of operations. With a web of interconnected processes spanning land, air, and sea, the industry’s complex dynamics underscore the imperative of upholding stringent safety measures at every juncture.

Experience the assurance of an unwavering commitment to safety. Bennett goes above and beyond industry standards to protect all those working within, and encountering, our work environments. We are committed to maintaining compliance with all regulations and standards set by governing bodies in the transportation industry, but proudly exceed them in many instances. This culture of safety is woven into the very fabric of our company, and we are committed to its continual improvement. We strive daily to be the safest and most responsible partner within the transportation and logistics industry and to ensure our safety culture is reflected in every action taken. With The Bennett Family of Companies, Safety Is Priority One.

Safety has long been a core value of the Bennett Family of Companies, a reflection of the heart of the owner and her passion for people. In 2017, the company deemed there was value in branding that core value, and the “Safety Is Priority One” commitment was born. 

In 2021, we recognized the need to answer the next logical question, “What does the Safety Is Priority One commitment actually look like to us and to those in the marketplace?” and we did so. Inspired by the concept of utilizing the four stars in our logo to do so, we now have four pillars of our safety culture: prevention, accountability, communication, and empowerment. Bennett employees, drivers, contractors, and service providers are provided with these expected cultural norms from day one. They represent and reinforce a standard of excellence in safe productivity across all entities within the Bennett Family of Companies.

Our “Safety Is Priority One” commitment is reflected throughout our operations and decision-making processes and can be seen in many different ways. It is seen in ensuring all equipment is in safe and compliant working order and in efforts to review relevant telematics data and act on it. It is seen in our load planning and ensuring our drivers have every opportunity to get the rest required to safely operate. It is seen in our drivers going above and beyond to ensure cargo is loaded and secured properly. And also their stubbornness in not leaving until they are satisfied it is safe to do so.

We partner with leading edge technology providers to enhance safety performance throughout our operations.

We are proud to play a role in promoting safety awareness within our local community and through industry associations.

Bennett Family of Companies is proud to partner with Truckers Against Trafficking to empower our workforce to take action and save lives. We do so by offering all associates in our family of companies a specialized training to recognize and report human trafficking.  

Truckers Against Trafficking (TAT) exists to educate, equip, empower, and mobilize members of the trucking, bus, and energy industries to combat human trafficking and modern day slavery. TAT recognizes that members of the transportation and energy industries are invaluable in the fight against this heinous crime. As the eyes and ears of our nation’s highways, truckers are in a unique position to make a difference and close loopholes to traffickers who seek to exploit our transportation system for their personal gain. Truckers Against Trafficking is raising up a mobile army of transportation professionals to discover and disrupt human trafficking networks by assisting law enforcement. They learn to recognize and report  human trafficking, in order to aid in the recovery of victims and the arrest of their perpetrators. The good news is this program is effective. Through TAT’s work with corporate partners like Bennett, victims of sex trafficking are becoming survivors, and their exploiters are being arrested and prosecuted.
