Personnel & Safety

PERSONNEL

Any company is only as good as its employees and our 77 year old firm owes its decades of success to the hard working men and women that fill the ranks of our team. It is through their dedication, adherence to safety and efficiency that allows us to continue to serve our customers with the high level of service that they are accustomed to.

EMPLOYEE TRAINING AND SAFETY

Safety is our number one priority and we live it and think about it everyday. We are proud to report that our current Experience Modification Rate (EMR) is .68 and we want to thank our employees for this achievement.

Our personnel are background checked by e-RAILSAFE^SM as well as subject to pre-employment and post-employment drug screening. The majority of our employees also have Transportation Worker Identification Credentials (TWIC®) as required by some of our industrial customers.

Our employees are trained in safe equipment and driving operation as well as On Track Safety and other rules as prescribed by our Class I Railroad customers. Our personnel also attend at least weekly safety meetings where they receive additional training on a myriad of subjects. Employees also participate in weekly “job critiques” where they examine each job performed in the previous week and determine how or if the job could have been done more safely or more efficiently.
