Safety: It's in our DNA [10.21.2009]

We take safety very seriously. That's why we're pleased to announce that the Utah Trucking Association named Mark Moats (right), Reddaway Inter-Mountain Division safety manager, its Utah Safety Supervisor of the Year.

With Mark's guidance, during 2008, our Reddaway Inter-Mountain Division reduced injuries by 25 percent and accidents by 14 percent. These results are continuing in 2009 with injuries and accidents to date down an additional 28 percent and 37 percent, respectively.

Mark's recognition is the most-recent example of our commitment to safety. We're proud of all our operating companies and the safe-driving records of our drivers. Collectively, we have almost 4,000 drivers who have safely driven 1 million miles or more:

As the Genuine Heavyweight Experts^TM, our drivers and dock professionals handle heavy shipments and powerful equipment. Their safety is our first concern. Fewer accidents and injuries keep our employees on the job, and diminished costs in these areas contribute greatly to the bottom line.

Safety is one of our YRC Worldwide core values.
