By definition, this implies that “… a motor carrier has in place and functioning adequate safety management controls to meet the safety and fitness standard prescribed in Sec. 385.” This rating, designated “Satisfactory” in Sec. 385.3, appears as the first (1) classification in the regulations. All of our drivers go through safety training and screening prior to getting behind the wheel. Our orientation process guarantees their knowledge of our Policies and Procedures, as well as the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration’s rules and regulations for safe and compliant operation of tractors and trailers. Once employed, continuing education and monitoring of all drivers guarantees our customers will receive the highest levels of service with a carrier that is second to none. In operation more than 25 years, Gateway’s employees know what it takes to develop a culture of safety. Our team members go above and beyond what is simply required in every aspect of our business. This has led to our culture of safety extending outwards to all departments within our company – not just our drivers.
