subject: Courier Drivers Participate In D.o.t. Road Safety Program [print this page] When you select Miami courier services for delivering your package to its destination, you do not have to worry about its safety. There are very few chances of your parcel getting misplaced or lost because the courier company believes in giving its customers the best possible service. Also the courier service drivers are mandated by company policy to participate in D.O.T. safety program. So once you have handed over the courier to the company, you can sit back with assurance that it will safely reach its destination.
D.O.T. stands for the Department of Transportation. It is the institution that is responsible for formulating laws and regulations concerning road safety. They also offer different trainings as a part of their federal programs to teach drivers how to drive safely. It teaches them the rules of the road and also offers extensive training to make them capable of dealing with any emergencies that may cause a delay or damage the shipment they are transporting. All the worst-case scenarios are presented to them in the form of simulations so they know what to do in the case of some mishap.
A driver who is not careful while driving a vehicle; poses a threat not only to himself and his vehicle, but also the innocent pedestrians and other car riders on the street. He may also end up damaging some civil property and even the fragile courier packages in the back of his truck. This is the reason why it is mandatory for all Miami courier services drivers to follow the driver safety protocol outlined by D.O.T. regulations. They not only have to be aware of all the rules set by D.O.T., but also now basic vehicle maintenance. They can change tires, change engine oil and even fix broken radiators. So if the truck breaks down, they can get back on route without wasting much time in calling for a mechanic.
Besides knowing all the road rules and vehicle tricks, a good courier delivery driver should have a good idea about the route he is going to take. Based on his experience he must be able to select a less busy highway so that the delivery reaches its destination in the minimum possible time. Of course, today drivers are helped by the GPS navigation system, but there is no substitute for an experienced driver who knows which routes have the least traffic congestion at what times of the day.
