Safety is our number one priority at M&G. The Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) measures the safety fitness of all trucking companies in the Country based upon the information obtained at road side inspections. These inspections take place on a random basis in all areas of the country. Trucks are routinely brought into weigh stations and inspected for equipment defects, driver paperwork and load securement. The results of theses inspections are used to determine a safety score in several areas, three of which are posted monthly on the DOT’s website for all interested parties to see. We are very proud of our scores. Each category has an allowable threshold that can not be exceeded.
M & G is working very hard to constantly improve our safety scores. All logs are audited at the end of each trip and any violations are addressed with the drivers immediately. Training is provided in all areas of compliance.
Drivers are encouraged to comply with all regulations by an incentive program in which any driver that has not received a violation within three months is rewarded with a $100 visa debit card at our quarterly safety meetings. This program has greatly improved compliance and has shown the management’s commitment to safety as a priority here at M&G.
Bonuses are awarded for good safety performance on a quarterly basis. All DOT safety audits are passed when they visit our facility which is yearly. We will continue our efforts and exceed all expectations.

We were lucky to host a demonstration on pre trip inspections by the Rhode Island State Police.
