WICHITA, Kan., May 13, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On April 23, 2015, RedGuard received the Certificate for Outstanding Achievement in Highway Safety by the Kansas Motor Carriers Association in Topeka.
RedGuard was among a group of carriers awarded one of three awards presented at the KMCA Safety Award Banquet. Each award required the highest level of safety mindedness on a daily basis to perform the necessary vehicle inspections and drive in the safest and most professional manner on state and federal roadways.
"It is an honor to have the Kansas Motor Carriers Association recognize RedGuard's safety standards," said Steve Crider, safety and compliance expert at RedGuard. "As with RedGuard, the single most important goal of the KMCA is clearly safety and compliance of all road users and all vehicles/equipment/load securement on the road."
There were 864 members in the Kansas Motor Carriers Association that were eligible for these awards recognizing the 2014 safety experience of carriers in Kansas. Of the seven basic scoring categories that all carriers are measured against for compliance, RedGuard scored better than 97% of all of the peer carriers.
"You can't argue with numbers," said Crider. "RedGuard is committed to the highest safety standards of our employees, clients and the motoring public, and we feel our score illustrates this."
RedGuard must adhere to the same Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations as all other carriers, however, RedGuard is unique because most of the company's loads are oversize and overweight, which means additional requirements must be complied with to ensure the safety of the load and the motoring public. This includes restricted drive times on certain roadways during rush hour and following state jurisdictions that require pilot cars for alerting road users of a RedGuard truck on the road.
"Each RedGuard driver must be fully knowledgeable of all DOT regulations regarding oversize, overweight and load securement," said Crider. "Whether it's on the road or in our production facility, all of us at RedGuard are 100 percent focused on ensuring the safety of all."
