Keep Your Professional Drivers Safe
Texting while driving dramatically increases the risk of a motor vehicle injury or fatality. Employers need to make it clear to all workers that their company doesn’t require or condone texting while driving. It’s literally a matter of life and death.

When you commit to keeping your employees safe behind the wheel, you are also ensuring the safety of coworkers, pedestrians and other road users.
