Schneider National, Inc., a leading provider of transportation, intermodal, and logistics services, proudly announces the receipt of the National Safety Council’s (NSC) Green Cross for Safety Advocate Award. This prestigious recognition is attributed to Schneider’s pioneering efforts in deploying technology to combat impaired driving, reaffirming the company’s commitment to overall road safety.
As an industry safety leader, Schneider is honored to receive the Safety Advocate Award, a testament to its dedication to workplace, road, and community safety. Tom DiSalvi, Schneider’s Vice President of Safety and Training, expressed, “Receiving the safety advocate award is a huge honor. At Schneider, our number one core value is Safety First and Always; it’s this enterprise value that leads us to continue to innovate with both technology and processes to improve highway safety.”
Schneider’s achievement is further highlighted as it becomes the first and only company to win all three safety awards from the NSC. In 2019, Schneider secured the Green Cross for Safety Innovation Award, and in 2018, the Green Cross for Safety Excellence Award.
The Safety Advocate Award specifically recognizes Schneider’s contribution to the Driver Alcohol Detection System for Safety (DADSS) Program. Schneider is the inaugural industry participant in testing the DADSS program’s lifesaving technology, aimed at researching and developing alcohol detection technology for commercial motor vehicles. By providing consistent, reliable data from frequent drivers operating in diverse conditions, Schneider plays a crucial role in advancing this groundbreaking technology.
“We are constantly looking for ways to improve the safety of our drivers and the motoring public. As the first truck carrier to test the alcohol detection sensors alongside DADSS, we are contributing impactful data that will be used to create a technology that could help eliminate the country’s number one traffic safety problem and save lives,” said DiSalvi.
Schneider’s commitment to exceeding safety standards and driving safety innovation positions it as a natural partner in efforts to address critical safety issues, emphasizing the company’s dedication to ensuring safer roads for all.
