Behind the Wheel: Protecting Your Crew, Equipment & Bottom-Line
Every day, tree care and landscape crews navigate busy roads with trucks, trailers, and valuable equipment, often with inexperienced drivers behind the wheel. One crash can sideline a crew member, cause costly equipment damage, and result in significant business disruption. We’ll examine what puts most drivers at risk, from towing and braking to distractions and lack of experience behind the wheel. You’ll take away practical habits and policies to prevent accidents before they happen. Learn how effective hands-on driver training techniques, safer driving habits, and clear company policiescan reduce liability, help lower insurance costs, and protect your employees both on and off the job.
