| 摘要： | There's a lot that can go wrong when a fully loaded Class 8 truck is involved in a collision. The sheer weight of an 80,000-lb. tractor/trailer combination has the potential of causing serious damage. If a truck hauling hazardous or flammable cargo is involved in a safety event, the risks associated with the incident go up tenfold. For Midtex Oil, a fuel and petroleum products distributor based in New Braunfels, Texas, utilizing safety technologies and services to reduce its chances of being involved in a catastrophic event is a priority. "A few years ago, we didn't have a formal safety program or use safety technologies to track driving behavior," said Tamara Black, Midtex Oil director of human resources. "Given the nature of our business, we realized we needed to do more to ensure the safety of our drivers and equipment." Midtex Oil operates a fleet of more than 50 trucks-mostly a mix between heavy- and medium-duty tanker and box van trucks-that provide transportation services throughout much of Central and South Texas and in Western Louisiana. Its customer base is diverse and ranges from chain convenience stores and gas stations to small farms and construction companies. Fuel and petroleum-based lubricants such as engine, transmission, compressor, and hydraulic oils are the primary products the company transports. |
