Here in Chandler Personnel, we also acknowledge the biggest issues that truck drivers face in the industry. While health and safety is a concern for any other workplace, we know that working in the transportation industry can be even harder to stay safe and healthy.
We understand that MR Drivers are overworked, leading to fatigue and unsafe working conditions. You need not worry because as your partner, we check if the company you’re working in meets compliance for fatigue management like endorsing rest breaks to avoid becoming too tired to drive safely. In addition to that, we will also get in touch with you to address any concerns you may encounter at work.
